For this process, first drag and drop the Carousel Remote widget and the Horizontal Scroll widget, and then follow the below steps:

1. In the Horizontal Scroll widget, once you’ve added your Elementor template, go to **Extra Options** tab > **Section ID**. 

Here you have to assign id to each section of the horizontal scroll. You have to use a pipe separator (**|**) without any space to add the id for each section.

Example: slide1|slide2

2. Then in the **Unique Connection ID** field, add a unique id.

3. Now select the Carousel Remote widget, then go to the **Content** tab, add the same ID in the **Unique Connection ID** field, and make sure **Remote Type** is selected as **Horizontal Scroll**.

4. Then go to the **Dots** tab and turn on the **Dots** toggle. This will add a dots navigation to the horizontal scrolling section.

Make sure to have the same number of dot items as the number of slides/sections in the Horizontal Scroll.

5. Open **Dot 1** item, in the **Section ID** field, you have to add the first section id of the horizontal scroll section. From here you can also add an image or icon to the dot, and customise the colour and background.

You can follow the same process for other tabs, make sure to change the **Section ID** accordingly.

Click on the **+ADD ITEM** button to add more dots.

6. From **Position Y** and **Position X,** you can position the buttons. You can also change the button layout from the **Layout** dropdown and the active dots style from the **Active Dot Style** dropdown. 

Now users can easily navigate the horizontal scrolling section by clicking on the dots.
