A slideshow is a promotional block that displays images and text. Each "slide" contains a headline, image and text. Each slide displays for a few seconds and is then replaced by the next slide. Typically the slideshow is placed on the top of the page. 

A slideshow needs to be added to the home page Dashboard in order for slides to pull in.

1. Follow the Adding Dashboard content steps to add slideshow to home page.

2. If there are no slides created, click "Create slides".

5. Beneath the Image section, click "Choose File" button and upload an image that will appear to the right of the slide by default.

6. Click "Upload" button.

7. Re-order slides by adding a numerical value to the ‘Order’ field. Each slide of the slideshow must have a number in the order field to re-order slides. Slide with order number as 0 will appear first in the sequence.
