Image focus carousel

This guide describes how to set up the Image focus carousel section.

Use the section to display images (blocks) on a page using a carousel layout.

The previous image shows an example store's home page. In the upper left, part of the Theme editor's Image focus carousel section menu is displayed. The menu's Layout > Enlarge active slide option is enabled. This option turns on or off enlarging the currently active slide in the section's carousel. For example, in the previous image, the active center slide that contains the yellow-colored, Lemon spritz product is displayed larger than the other slides.

For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
