Changing the Homepage Carousel

Overview

You want to change the carousel used on your School/District website's Homepage by swapping it out with another carousel. When you click on the current carousel to change it, you don't get the up/down arrows to add another module.

Solution

In order to change the carousel (and get the up/down arrows), Senior District Webmaster rights are needed.

Once you have the rights, below are the steps to perform the changes:

1. Login to your School Loop portal.
2. Click on Site Center under Toolbox.
3. Select your site's homepage and click Edit.
4. Select the existing Carousel Module by clicking it once. Make sure that the Carousel label has white text on a black background. Otherwise, you've selected a slide in the Carousel. In that case, click again on the gray bar above the images.
5. Click one of the arrows on the toolbar, which will open an Insert Module popup. This will insert a module above or below the selected Carousel.

6. In the Insert Module popup, choose the Carousel tab, and select the desired type of Carousel:

7. You'll now have two carousels stacked vertically. Select the one you wish to remove (the existing one), click the trashcan icon on the toolbar, and select Delete on the pop-up.
8. Click the slide in the newly added Carousel and click on the image icon to Upload image or Select image from locker. You can also drag and drop an image on the slide itself.
9. Additional slides can be added by clicking the Plus (+) icon.

10. Click Publish Changes.
