You can use the slider to highlight specific news articles on the homepage or to directly link to internal or external pages. For example to one of your pages in Brand Guidelines or to your company's website.
The slider automatically goes from one slide to another. Optionally, you can also hover over the slider and use the arrow buttons to browse through the available slides.
