CarouselA carousel can add emphasis to content you'd like to showcase, like News. Like News & Events portlets, a carousel (above) presents a collection of information. Although you can use a carousel to display the description field for Pages & Events, the carousel was designed primarily to present News items, as News Collections come ready-made on all sites. News items combine text and images, making them ideal for carousel presentation.  TIP: News items must have images uploaded with them for photos to appear in carousel (see Adding a News). If you don't see images, it's because your news items don't have them! To feed a carousel, you'll need to create the content (text and/or images), collect it together with a Collection, and enable the carousel on the page of your choice. Step 1: Create the ContentThe first step in carousel creation is the creation of the content itself: News items within the News folder of your site. If you already have news items ready to go, consider adding images to them. While your news items don't need to contain images, images are recommended for maximum impact. Step 2: Create the CollectionIf you're working with your site's News folder, you can probably skip this step, unless you'd like to customize which news items show up in your carousel. If you'd like to do something else with your carousel, such as show off your faculty's recent achievements or your lab's latest equipment, you'll need to create a custom Collection. If you have any questions about this process, contact the School of Medicine Multimedia Lab at 919-966-3519 or webhelp@med.unc.edu to get one-on-one help. Step 3: Enable the CarouselOnce you've got content and a collection, it's time to enable the carousel on your site. It can only be enabled on pages, and it must be enabled one page at a time. We suggest placing it on your homepage—this is the page most people will see when they visit your site. To enable a carousel:
