Direction

Direction Setting in Group Slider Block

The "Direction" setting within the Group Slider block allows you to define the orientation of the slider, providing options for horizontal or vertical movement. This setting determines how the content within the slider transitions, giving you flexibility in how your slides are presented to users.

Direction Options

• Purpose: This setting allows you to choose the orientation of the slider, either horizontal or vertical. The direction you select can significantly impact the user experience, depending on the type of content and the overall layout of your section.

• Usage: Select the desired direction to control whether the slider moves horizontally or vertically when users navigate through the slides.

Options:

1. Horizontal:

   • Description: The Horizontal option configures the slider to move from left to right (or right to left) as users navigate through the slides. This is the more traditional and commonly used slider orientation, ideal for most content types and layouts where a side-to-side movement is intuitive and visually consistent.

2. Vertical:

   • Description: The Vertical option configures the slider to move from top to bottom (or bottom to top) as users navigate through the slides. This orientation is particularly useful for layouts where you want to create a different visual experience, such as for showcasing product lists, testimonials, or any content where a top-to-bottom flow is more natural or effective.
