Choose one of the following slide placement types:

Enter the Slide Name.

When you are working in edit mode, the slide name appears as a tooltip above the navigation dot. The slide name is not visible from the storefront.

{width="500" modal="regular"}

Enter the Minimum Height for the slide.

The minimum height can be a number with any valid CSS unit (such as 100px, 50%, 50em, 100vh) or a calculation (such as 100vh - 237px).

For example, you can set the slide’s minimum height to cover the full height of the page, then use background images and videos for compelling design options.

Click the placeholder or existing text and enter the new text that you want to appear on the slide.

The editor toolbar appears above the text box.

Use the editor toolbar to enter and format text, as well as insert elements, such as links, images, and widgets.

The first slide in this example has a background image, but no message text. The Buy 3 Get 1 Free text above the slider is in a Text container (added later).

If needed, specify a Link for the slide.

The link is the destination page that appears when the customer clicks the slide area. You can use one of three link types:

• URL - Links to either a relative or fully qualified URL.

• Product - Identifies the destination page based on the product name or SKU. Search for the product by name based on either a partial or full name. Choose the product from the search results list.

  {width="600" modal="regular"}

• Category - Identifies the destination page as a specific category or subcategory in the category tree. Search for the category based on either a partial or full name. Choose the category from the expanded section of the displayed tree.

• Page - Identifies the destination page as a specific content page. Search for the page based on either a partial or full name. Choose the page from the search results list.

  {width="600" modal="regular"}

Starting with the 2.4.1 release, Page Builder no longer supports linking the slide and links within the nested text due to issues with display on the storefront. If you are using a link in the _Message Text_, you cannot configure the _Link_ option. If you prefer to use a single link for the whole slide, you can remove all links from the text.

{width="300"}

If you want to prevent the visitor from navigating away from your store, select the Open in new tab checkbox. When the checkbox is cleared, the linked destination opens in the same browser tab, which could effectively navigate the visitor away from your store.

If needed, add a button to prompt customers to follow the link.

The slide Appearance position places a single link or button below the text. Complete the properties of the link or button that you want to add.

{width="600" modal="regular"}

• Set Show Button to one of the following:

  table 0-row-2 1-row-2 2-row-2 3-row-2 layout-auto
  Option	Description
  Always	A button always appears on the slide.
  On Hover	A button appears on the slide only on hover.
  Never Show	A button never appears on the slide.

• Enter the Button Text to display on the button.

• Set Button Type to one of the following:

  table 0-row-2 1-row-2 2-row-2 3-row-2 layout-auto
  Option	Description
  Primary	Applies the primary button style from the current style sheet.
  Secondary	Applies the secondary button style from the current style sheet, if applicable.
  Link	Creates a hyperlink rather than a button.

  The button style from the current theme determines the button format. Typically, a primary button has a more prominent background color than a secondary button.

Set Show Overlay to one of the following:

You can use an overlay to apply a background color to the active content area that is defined by the Appearance setting. The slide background image remains visible for the full width of the slide.

{width="600" modal="regular"}

If you choose to show an overlay, set the Overlay Color:

• Click the No Color swatch, and choose a swatch.

Enter the Minimum Height for the slide.

The minimum height can be a number with any valid CSS unit (such as 100px, 50%, 50em, 100vh) or a calculation (such as 100vh - 237px).

For example, you can set the minimum height of a slider to stretch the full height of the page, giving you compelling options for full-page background images and videos.

{width="400"}

If you want the slider to begin when the page loads, set Autoplay to Yes and set Autoplay Speed to the number of milliseconds in the delay between slides.

By default, the speed is set to 4000 ms, which is four seconds. If you set autoplay to No, the first slide appears by default and the customer must click the slide navigation (dots or arrows) to display the next slide in sequence.

{width="600" modal="regular"}

To smooth the transition from one slide to the next, set Fade to Yes.

With fade, the slides seem to stay in place, but the content changes smoothy from one to the next. Without fade, you see the horizontal movement from one slide to the next.
