Image Slider for the SharePoint intranet: the benefits it offers
Our component is designed to enrich internal communication through greater customization of the SharePoint intranet. It allows you to promote communications or specific intranet content with modern, flexible graphics to fit every page of the intranet and capture users' attention. It is not just a graphical component: it supports the intranet adoption process by providing quick access to the most useful tools for your colleagues' daily activities.
Improve your intranet's style
- Automatically scroll the featured graphics.
- Adjust the height of the carousel, to match the images it contains and the intranet pages where you want to place it.
Simplify communication, with modern graphics
- Intranet pages and sections
- External resources, such as a website, blog, or online industry magazine
Make navigation easier
Simple configuration
Tailor the look of every carousel
The Image Slider gives you precise control over how the carousel appears on each SharePoint page. You can toggle the background visibility, enable a drop shadow and choose its style between High Contrast, Light, or Dark, and show or hide the component title with your own custom text. Navigation arrows and image-selector dots can each be turned on or off, so the slider fits cleanly into any layout and matches the visual identity of your intranet.
Manage images from a SharePoint document library
Slider content is sourced from a dedicated "Slider Images" document library, configured by specifying the site URL and selecting the library. Each image carries a URL column that makes it clickable through a hyperlink and an Order column that controls the display sequence. You can edit entries in grid view to configure several images at once, while the auto-rotation interval and slider height in pixels are set directly in the web part properties.

Frequently asked questions
How are the images in the slider managed?
Images are stored in a dedicated SharePoint document library named "Slider Images." You point the web part to the site URL and select that library. Each image uses an Order column to define its display sequence and a URL column to make it a clickable link. You can edit several images at once using the library's grid view.
Can the carousel rotate through images automatically?
Yes. The Image Slider supports automatic image rotation, and the interval between transitions is adjustable in seconds within the web part settings. You can also enable optional left and right navigation arrows and selection indicator dots so users can move through the images manually.
What image dimensions work best in the slider?
The component is particularly suited to rectangular, low and wide images. Vertical images are also supported through the slider's vertical adaptability, and the carousel height can be specified in pixels to match your images and the page where the slider is placed.
How do I find and add the component in SharePoint?
The Image Slider appears in the SharePoint web part search under the name "IAI - ImageSlider." Once added, you can configure its appearance, including background visibility, shadow style (High Contrast, Light, or Dark), title text, navigation arrows, and indicator dots, directly from the web part properties.
