# Set the sliders

The Sliders module gives you the freedom to create multiple sliders for the pages of your site. There are 4 kinds of sliders: Flexislider, Parallax, Banners and Revolution (if you have already installed the Slider Revolution plugin).

This module can be activated or deactivated at any time from the correlated Modules section.
