Collection list carousel ​
This guide describes the Collection list carousel section.
Use the section to display a selection of collections on a page, arranged in a carousel layout.
The previous image shows an example store's home page. In the upper left, part of Theme editor's Collection list carousel section menu is displayed. The menu's Only show buttons on hover on desktop option is set to off (unchecked). With this option off, the section's buttons are always displayed.
