For details on reordering images, adding captions, or inserting links, refer to our **[Gallery Element](https://support.catapultcms.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049566531-gallery-element?hsLang=en)** article. ### Key Differences from the Gallery Element Unlike the Gallery, which displays all images at once in a grid, the **Slideshow** element presents images one at a time in a rotating cycle. ### Customizing the Slideshow To adjust slideshow settings, click the **Options** button. This will open a settings menu where you can: - Toggle **Randomize Images**  - Set **transition timing** (speed of image changes) - Choose **transition effects** (fade, slide, etc.) - Adjust **dimensions** to fit your layout ![](https://support.catapultcms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-14-2025-05-23-14-6925-PM.png?width=829&height=702&name=image-png-Mar-14-2025-05-23-14-6925-PM.png) ### Adding Captions & Links - To add a caption, click the **speech bubble** icon above an image. - To add a link, click the **link** icon and select a destination. These features work the same way as in the **Gallery** element. ![](https://support.catapultcms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-14-2025-05-23-41-7320-PM.png?width=497&height=308&name=image-png-Mar-14-2025-05-23-41-7320-PM.png) ![](https://support.catapultcms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-14-2025-05-23-51-1666-PM.png?width=504&height=315&name=image-png-Mar-14-2025-05-23-51-1666-PM.png) If your template includes [**dynamic columns**](https://support.catapultcms.com/dynamic-column-functionality?hsLang=en), the **Slideshow** element will automatically adjust its size based on the content region. - [CMS](https://support.catapultcms.com/cms?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started with Catapult CMS](https://support.catapultcms.com/cms?hsLang=en#getting-started-with-catapult-cms) - [The Dashboard](https://support.catapultcms.com/cms?hsLang=en#the-dashboard) - [General Editing Information](https://support.catapultcms.com/cms?hsLang=en#general-editing-information) - [Basic Elements](https://support.catapultcms.com/cms?hsLang=en#basic-elements) - [Visual Elements](https://support.catapultcms.com/cms?hsLang=en#visual-elements) - [File Management](https://support.catapultcms.com/cms?hsLang=en#file-management) - [Integrations](https://support.catapultcms.com/cms?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Compliance](https://support.catapultcms.com/cms?hsLang=en#compliance) - [Configuration](https://support.catapultcms.com/cms?hsLang=en#configuration) - [Implementation](https://support.catapultcms.com/cms?hsLang=en#implementation) - [Connect](https://support.catapultcms.com/connect?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Manage Users](https://support.catapultcms.com/connect?hsLang=en#manage-users) - [SIS Configuration](https://support.catapultcms.com/connect?hsLang=en#sis-configuration) - [Dashboard](https://support.catapultcms.com/connect?hsLang=en#dashboard) - [Other](https://support.catapultcms.com/connect?hsLang=en#other) - [Organization & Site Resources](https://support.catapultcms.com/connect?hsLang=en#organization-site-resources) - [Messages](https://support.catapultcms.com/connect?hsLang=en#messages) - [Emergency Resources](https://support.catapultcms.com/connect?hsLang=en#emergency-resources) - [Implementation](https://support.catapultcms.com/connect?hsLang=en#implementation) - [APP](https://support.catapultcms.com/app?hsLang=en#main-content) - [App Management](https://support.catapultcms.com/app?hsLang=en#app-management) - [What's New](https://support.catapultcms.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#main-content) - [What's new at CatapultCMS](https://support.catapultcms.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#whats-new-at-catapultcms) - [Contact Us](https://support.catapultcms.com/contact-us?hsLang=en) - [Incident Report](https://support.catapultcms.com/incident-report?hsLang=en) - [Implementation](https://support.catapultcms.com/implementation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Professional Add-On Services](https://support.catapultcms.com/implementation?hsLang=en#professional-add-on-services) [![catapult-cms-logotype](https://support.catapultcms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/catapult-cms-logotype.png?width=250&height=49&name=catapult-cms-logotype.png "catapult-cms-logotype")](https://catapultcms.com/) [CatapultCMS.com](https://catapultcms.com/) [CMS Login](https://www.catapultcms.com/Login.aspx) [CONNECT Login](https://www.catapult-connect.com/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2F) Copyright © 2026, CatapultCMS
