# Slide Show

## What is a Slide Show?

**This page can be used to present a series of pictures.** The images in the slide show are set in a landscape layout with text underneath. 

## Quick steps: how to create & edit a Slide Show page

1. **Open Authoring.** Create or open a [Learning Story](/authoring-docs/authoring/content-types/learning-story.md), [Assessment](/authoring-docs/authoring/content-types/assessment.md) or [Survey](/authoring-docs/authoring/content-types/survey.md) [content type](/authoring-docs/authoring/content-types.md).
2. **Open the Editor.**
3. **Add a Slide Show page.** Select the + icon and choose Slide Show from the Add Page options. 
4. **Edit the page.** Select the page to view [Page Options](/authoring-docs/content-pages/story-and-page-settings.md#what-are-the-page-options), and select Update to add and edit content. Add up to six images (at least 1136x758px in size in .svg, .jpg or .png format). 
5. **Format text and image layout and style.** Toggle to Text and enter text in the space provided. Use the editing tools to format your text. The text will appear below your slideshow. Use the available [Settings](#slide-show-settings) as desired.

## Slide Show Settings

**Animation**\
Choose from the available image animation options: Carousel (Default), Fade In/Out, Scale In/Out.

**Autoplay**\
The autoplay option allows you to run the slideshow automatically (so the user does not have to scroll through manually). You can decide how many seconds each slide must be shown. If you set this to "0", autoplay will not run and the user can swipe to view the slideshow.

**Background Colour**\
Select an alternative background colour to override the theme default.

**Image Size**\
If you want the image sizes to be adjusted for tablet and desktop devices, you can set the size to Medium or Small (Large is the default size).

**Image Effect (Non-Mobile)**\
Add image shadow and frame options. *Note that image effects will only apply to non-mobile devices, i.e. desktop and tablet.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://everyday-digital.gitbook.io/authoring-docs/content-pages/content-page-library/slide-show.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
