New in new Google SITES! Create an Image Carousel, 2 Footer Updates

Create and insert image carousels in new Sites

Site editors can now share a selection of images in new Sites by creating a new image carousel. You can use this new content type to highlight images on your site, like a project page where you can feature concepts and designs, or share photos.

To insert an image carousel to your Site:
  • In the right sidebar, click Insert > Image carousel
  • Select images to upload or select from already uploaded images.
  • Drag images to reorder as desired.
  • Hover over the image to delete or add alt text.
To set carousel settings, click the gear icon to the top right and select from the following:
  • Auto start: images in the carousel will automatically cycle.
  • Show dots: displays progress indicators for the carousel. 

Two improvements to new Sites footers

Google is removing the branding and “Create a site” button at the bottom of new Sites’ pages so your site viewers can focus on your content.

Sites will also now display the date and time a site’s page was last updated.
