General usage dos and don'ts
| ✅ Dos | ❌ Don'ts |
|---|---|
| Read our guidance on imagery. | |
| We recommend using a maximum of 4 images within the image gallery. | |
| JPEG should be chosen for larger photos or illustrations: it will give you good results in terms of colours and clarity with a relatively small file size or use a PNG if you want to preserve background transparency. | |
| Images should be cropped to minimise "dead" space and focus on the image in the screen. | |
| The standard function for the component is that the image library will expand from left to right with the first image on the left not including an arrow. Once there is a scroll to the right, the left arrow will be added to support scroll back to image 1. |
