New Slideshow Paragraph

In a continued effort to enhance the Queen's brand experience online, websites published through the WebPublish Basic, Academia, and Custom service now have the slideshow paragraph design with this release.  

The slideshow offers three layout format options, centred, slideshow left and slideshow right. The built-in slideshow layout makes it quick and easier to add slideshows along with the image caption and/or text to your site. 

Learn more about branding and visual identity resources on Brand Central.
