   Need to add additional images to the slideshow?

   Select the plus icon to add additional images to the slideshow component. 
   

   Best Practices

   Slideshow images should be limited to no more than 4 images max and should share a common theme. An average user stays on a page 4 seconds or less. This feature should ideally be used when a concept needs to be displayed in succession to show chronological or numerical processes. Avoid using slideshows to display multiple subjects that have no true connection with each other.

2. Hover over the body of the component. (see image below)

   Best Practices

   • Avoid images that have text or writing on them.
   • Find images that are appropriate for the section and page. 
   • Avoid images that are "too casual, informal, or suggestive in nature.
   • Also there should not be any images that depict third party logos except for NIH, CDC -USF affiliates - with approval from your department and the organization. 
   • Images should be in one of the following formats:
     PNG
