General usage dos and don'ts
| ✅ Dos | ❌ Don'ts |
|---|---|
| Slide items can only be used with the Slider container. | |
| Ensure the text is legible. | Do not use a background colour that makes the text hard to read. |
| Use a superficial button and add the link to the entire block. | Do not add a separate link within the block itself. This will break the block. |
