[Magento 2 Tutorials] What can you do with a Banner Rotator Widget?

As a widget, the banner rotator can be assigned to a particular page, item, or category, and placed most anyplace in your store. Likewise, a banner rotator can be connected with a particular shopping cart or catalog rule.

As an option, you can also use a jQuery slider or carousel that changes images consequently, similar to the one on the home page of the Magento demo store. There is a wide variety of jQuery sliders accessible on the web, and numerous are free. To add a slider to your store, first create a static block. Follow the slider instructions to add the jQuery code to the block. At that point, use the Widget tool to put the static block where you want it to show up in your store.
