Slider
The slider element creates carousels and slideshows powered by Swiper . You can build image carousels, hero sliders, testimonial rotators, and other sliding content.
Adding a Slider
- Open the Element Library in the editor
- Under Utilities, drag the Slider element onto the canvas
- The slider is created with default slides, navigation arrows, and pagination
Structure
A slider has a fixed internal structure:
- Slider — The outer container
- Slides — The wrapper that holds all slides
- Slide — Individual slide (add as many as you need)
- Navigation — Previous/next arrow buttons (optional)
- Pagination — Bullet or fraction indicators (optional)
- Slides — The wrapper that holds all slides
You design each slide’s content by adding elements inside it (text, images, buttons, etc.). The slide content repeats the same layout structure but you can customize each slide individually.

Managing Slides
- Add a slide — Use the “Add slide” action in the slider settings or duplicate an existing slide in the Layers panel
- Reorder slides — Drag slides in the Layers panel
- Delete a slide — Select a slide and delete it from the Layers panel
Collection-Powered Slides
You can use CMS collection items as slides to create dynamic, data-driven sliders. Instead of manually creating each slide, connect a collection and design a single slide template that repeats for each item.
- Select the Slides block in the Layers panel
- Right-click and choose Convert to collection, then select the collection
- Design a single Slide inside and bind collection fields to its elements (images, text, links, etc.)
Each collection item generates a slide automatically. This is ideal for testimonial sliders, product carousels, team member spotlights, and any content managed through the CMS.
Styling
You can style every part of the slider independently:
- Slide content — Add any elements inside slides and style them with design controls
- Navigation arrows — Select the prev/next buttons and customize their appearance
- Pagination bullets — Style the bullet indicators; the active bullet receives a
currentstate that you can style separately
Use the Fade effect for hero image sliders and the Coverflow effect for product showcases. The Cards effect works well for stacked card presentations.
