How to set up and style the Template Carousel widget in Elementor.
Template Carousel turns saved Elementor templates into slides, so each slide can be any layout you can build. Slides can also be plain rich text from the editor. Use it when a carousel needs more than images, such as cards, offers, case studies or mixed content.
Part of: Bright Addons Pro. Before you start: Elementor saved templates for the slides that use a template. Text slides need nothing extra.
