Build and reuse a photo carousel

Choose, order, and review a short series of images without changing your reusable source accidentally.

Before you start#

  • Photos ready in your device or media library.

Steps#

  1. Step 1: Decide what the sequence should explain#

    Use a carousel when a short sequence communicates better than one image: options, steps, examples, or a concise introduction. Put the most useful image first and keep words large enough for a phone.

    Use only accurate examples and permitted images. A carousel does not turn a hypothetical result into verified proof.

  2. Step 2: Add the images#

    In the card's media settings, choose Carousel. Use the available upload or My Media selection controls. Batch selection can add up to six images at once and fills empty slides without replacing existing photos.

    Wait for uploads to finish. Review each slide, including empty slides that may need an image or removal.

  3. Step 3: Set the order and framing#

    Use the move-up and move-down controls to arrange slides. Check the selected aspect ratio and preview each image. Remove unnecessary slides so the sequence has one clear purpose.

    Do not place a long instruction on a slide that requires the visitor to zoom to read it. Put essential next-step wording in the card text as well.

  4. Step 4: Understand reusable copies#

    My Media includes reusable carousel tools. Selecting a reusable carousel into a card copies its content. Changes to the card copy do not automatically edit the library source; renaming the card's media does not rename that source either.

    If you want a change in multiple cards, review and update the relevant copies explicitly, then republish those cards.

How you know it worked#

  • Every slide is intentional and readable.
  • The order makes sense on a phone.
  • You know whether you edited a reusable source or a card copy.

Tips#

  • Keep a carousel short enough to scan.
  • Review carousels separately on The Hook and each Close where you use them.

Troubleshooting#

My reusable carousel did not change after editing a card.
That is expected. The card uses a copy. Edit the reusable source separately if that is your intention.
Some slides are empty.
Add an image or remove the unused slide, then resolve any highlighted validation messages.
