Enabling the Thumbnail Slider on the Product Page
The product thumbnail slider is a useful feature to enable if you have lots of images for a product; instead of a cluttered collection of thumbnails extending down the page, they all get tucked neatly away into a slider below the main image.
This will give your product pages a cleaner look while allowing shoppers to explore all of your product photos!
