Sliders Tab
Sliders are Writing.Com’s version of magnetic poetry.

You create a collection of words or short phrases, and visitors can drag them around to build their own combinations. When they’re happy with what they’ve made, they can take a snapshot to save it.

How It Works

Your Sliders tab includes:

• a work area where words can be moved and arranged
• a Take Snapshot button to save creations
• a list of previous snapshots so you can see what others have made

Visitors can play with your sliders, rearrange them, and save their own versions.

Setting Up Your Sliders

To create or update your sliders, click the gear icon on your Sliders tab.

From there, you can:
• choose who has access to your Sliders
• enter your words or phrases (one per line)
• set a content rating
• click Store List to save your sliders

Each time you store your list, a new snapshot is created using your current sliders.

Snapshots

Snapshots are saved versions of slider creations.

You’ll see a list of them on your Sliders tab, where you can:
• view what others have created
• remove snapshots if needed
• report inappropriate use

Snapshots can be linked using @snapshot plus the snapshot ID number

Notes

• Sliders are not supported on Mobile View
• Zoom may affect how sliders behave
