You can either move one column at a time or move all visible columns (depending on the number of columns set in the **Desktop Columns** dropdown). For example, let’s say you have set **Column 2** in the **Desktop Columns** now if you choose **One Column** from the Next Previous dropdown, it will only slide one column at once with the arrow navigation, but if you set **All Visible Columns, **then it will slide two columns at once since the **Desktop Columns **is set to **Column 2.** You can set a different number of columns for mobile and tablet devices separately. This is how easily you can set multiple columns in an Elementor carousel slider.
