Update your slider using the Visual Builder. Not sure where to start? Watch this video first

${youtube}Update/Edit Slider

Enable the Visual Builder
To create a new slider, create a new module by clicking the gray plus sign and select Slider. If you'd like to add a full width slider, add a new section by clicking the blue plus sign and select Full Width and then FullWidth Slider.
To edit an existing slide, click the gray gear next to the slide you'd like to edit
To delete a slide, click the trash can next to the slide you'd like to delete
To add a new slide, click the plus sign "Add New Slide"
Save Slider by clicking the teal Check mark
Save the whole page by clicking the purple circle with the three dots inside and then the teal SAVE button.

Note: We recommend when using the slider to be consistent with your images sizes, as well as if you use text or not. The best way to use the slider is to upload a generic background image from the stock library and add text using the text settings on top of the blank, generic image.

If you want to use your own images that already have text, upload the image to the background of the slide and do not add any other text on top of the image. This will make your formattin
