## Basics

**Sequences** are an element that can be added to your project layout and consist of three parts: the sequence container, the slide containers, and the controls container. They have a range of uses from animating a sequence of logos, to showing an image slideshow.

</Frame>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the sequence add tool">
    From within the editor, select **Sequence** from the `+` menu in the top bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select area to add to">
    Select a point in the project body by selecting between layouts, click + dragging within, or selecting a point inside a column.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add content inside sequence slides">
    Select the media item prepopulated inside slides, select add media from the fill settings group, and choose a file.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optional: Add more content to slides">
    Follow the normal add steps with other content types like media and text to add them inside slides.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Content

With the sequence element selected, content settings are available in the right sidebar.

* **Add slide:** This will add another slide. Tip: you can duplicate existing slides.
* **Quantity:** This field can be edited to add or remove many slides in one action
* **Single slide mode:** When a **Sequence** is in single slide mode, only one slide will show at a given time. This is great for slideshow-style sequences with large wide images.
* **Clip content:** When a **Sequence** has clip content turned on, all slides outside of the container will not show. When turned off, the previous and next slide(s) may be in view.

### Slide settings

Slides are very similar to columns, but are contained within sequences. Add elements into slides, such as **Media** and **Text**. While selecting a **Slide** element inside of a sequence, the right sidebar will display the available settings for styling the slide container.

### Controls settings

**Controls** are included in sequences to allow for navigating and indicating the slides in a sequence, and consist of two **buttons** and an **indicator**. While selecting the controls inside of a sequence, the right sidebar will display the available settings for styling the controls container.

* **Position controls inside:** Turning on position controls inside will allow the **controls** to overlay the slides within a sequence.

### Indicator settings

**Indicators** are included in controls to allow for an indication of the number of slides, and which is actively in view. While selecting the indicator inside of controls, the right sidebar will display the settings for styling the indicators and their container. **Indicators** have a range of states that can be styled individually, or synced together.
