A Logo Carousel is a row on your website which displays one or more logos associated with accreditations or awards that your schoolmate have been given. The carousel can hold an unlimited number of logos, and when the number of logos is large, they will scroll across the page rather than all trying to be crammed into one row of your web page. Such a carousel will look something like this.
Where possible, we add these carousels to your website by creating modules. Below we describe the process of editing these modules to add or remove logos.
Once logged into your control panel, go to Extensions > Site Modules, then search for "Carousel". Only one result will be returned, such as in the example below.
Click the title of the module to put it into editor mode. The two buttons are labelled "Edit with Backend Editor" and "Edit with Frontend Editor."We recommend in this case, always click the white Edit with Backend Editor button.

Saving the Update and Closing the Edit
Now, click the down arrow next to the blue SAVE button and you'll see "Save and Close" in the top right corner of the screen. Click this option and you'll be returned to the module where you can click Save and Close again.
