When the block has been added, it is created with 2 dummy slides which you can edit as you need… It should all be quite self explanatory and you can hover the mouse the setting icons to see a title of what they do.

In the top right corner of the Slider in edit mode are the settings for each slide. Here you can add an image, the link for the slide and override a lot of the default slider settings which are set in the slider block settings in the right-hand sidebar.

You can also create new slides, duplicate slides and/or remove any slides you choose to.

If you have WooCommerce activated, you will also see the option to select a product to be added as a new slide, turning the Advanced Slider into a WooCommerce product slider.

A lot of these settings are repeated under the settings icon on each slide, which you can use to override the main setting for that slide.

The 2 sections below the Slider Design settings are similar to what is found under the image slider/carousel block, video slider, and most of the other slider type blocks for editing the slider settings and slider controls.
