    Note: Follow the same steps to replace all of the default images in the slideshow. Once all of the default images have been replaced, you can add additional images.
  10. To add additional images:
    • Click the last slideshow image then select Section Settings.
      The Section Settings option.
    • Click the Add Slide button. A new default image will appear. Follow the steps above to replace the default image with one of your own.
      The Add Slide button.

Tip: Slideshows will automatically rescale images to fit within a particular slideshow. It's recommended to select the slideshow which is the most appropriate for your images and resize your images if necessary. This will ensure that they display properly.

Note: If you wish to be able to right-click and save any images, you will need to also host those images elsewhere then add links to where the images are hosted. When you click the images, they will open in a new tab or window and you'll have the option to right-click and save from there. Web Hosting customers who use Website Builder as their home page can upload these images to File Manager then add the links.
