Image with text slideshow

This guide describes how to set up the Image with text slideshow section.

Use the section to display a series of images with corresponding text on a page.

The previous image shows an example store's home page. In the upper left, part of the Theme editor's Slide block menu is displayed. The block is inside an Image with text slideshow section. Inside the menu, the Button link option is set to the store's Hella Good T-shirt product page. This option specifies a link for the block's button. For example, in the previous image, the Order now button is displayed in the section. When a store visitor selects the button, the store's Hella Good T-shirt product page opens.

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