Prev/Next – You can add a next and previous navigation button to the Carousel Remote widget from this tab. Once you turn on the toggle, you can choose different styles, customise the text and manage its alignment.

Dots – From this tab, you can add dot navigation. On enabling this option, you can manage the number of dots you want. Keep in mind the number of dots should be equal to the number of items in the slider or carousel you are connecting with.
