With that in mind, setting the first impression can be easily accomplished by choosing which carousel you'd like to use... it's easy to change so feel free to experiment. Start by clicking **Settings** \> **Homepage** then select the carousel you'd like to use and set the default duration of each slide (we pause slides when a mouse is hovering over it too). ![](https://help.locable.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.netdocsassets553fd010e4b0eb143c62bb50images5e8ce6e32c7d3a7e9aea8d2bfile-ZxXFyxzMoz.png)You can also select to show full-width or have the sidebar adjacent to the carousel on mobile. ![](https://help.locable.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.netdocsassets553fd010e4b0eb143c62bb50images5d66bfae2c7d3a7a4d77ca23file-d0oEq03zki.jpg) You can also choose to move the Carousel (hero) above the Secondary Nav and Pushdown Ad by clicking **Settings** \> **General** and then clicking the **Layout Options** tab. ### Image Sizes The image for the carousel is automatically created based on the main image uploaded in the article. The system auto-generates multiple image sizes including the carousel. We recommend uploading an image of at least 1000px wide.
