Collection focus carousel ​
This guide describes how to set up the Collection focus carousel section.
Use the section to display products from a collection on a page, arranged in a focused carousel layout. The section focuses on the product that's displayed at the center of the carousel.
The previous image shows an example store's home page. In the upper left, part of the Theme editor's Collection focus carousel section menu is displayed. The menu's Enlarge active slide option is enabled. With this option enabled, the section's currently active slide (center) is displayed larger than the other slides.
