# Slider articles

## Block limitations

This is a private block and can only be used within specific parent blocks. It is designed to work exclusively within the [Slider](/slab/content/blocks/layout/slider.md) block.

## Overview

A customizable slider component for displaying blog articles in a horizontal scrollable layout. This block iterates through articles from a selected blog and renders them as slider items with configurable layout options.

## Common use cases

* Use this block when you want to showcase blog content in a scrollable slider format
* Configure the widths carefully to ensure proper display on different devices
* When using tag filtering, ensure articles have appropriate tags assigned
* For best results, use with blog content that has consistent image dimensions

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.brickspacelab.com/slab/content/blocks/all-pagination/articles/slider-articles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
