Page contents Page contents A carousel displays a series of banners, one at a time, allowing you to promote more than one high-priority message. Banners within a carousel follow the guidelines for the banner. Carousels allow more than one message and Call to action (CTA) to occupy a single, high-visibility space. They are used on homepages, mostly for campaigns or initiatives.
