# Slider Widget

### Overview

The Slider Widget in MangoApps is designed to enhance the visual presentation of content by allowing users or admins to add images or videos along with plain text. This widget is particularly useful for creating dynamic and engaging displays that automatically scroll through the content after a set time interval.
