Enter the name of your slideshow here. The name will be shown at the top of the slideshow.
Search
This field determines what items are displayed in Slideshow. Enter a single search term (like Harry Potter) to perform a relevancy-based Smart Search, or enter a more complicated search string. You can even paste a Search URL in this field, and Slideshow will search for and extract the search string. The possibilities are endless!
Read Search Strings for more information on using search strings and building syntax.
Predefined Searches
Click to select and apply some of our commonly-used search strings without having to understand the syntax. Recently Added Titles, Highest Rated Titles, and Titles With Awards are just a few of your available options. You can also choose from one of your public saved lists.
Slideshows will only display the first 100 items in the search results or saved list. |
Layout
Choose between a Split or Preview layout. If you open a slideshow on a mobile phone, it will default to the mobile layout.

- Mobile. The current slide displays item details only, and a carousel containing cover art for other items in your list is displayed below.
