Grid Gap, Margin Top, and Bottom: Manage spacing to ensure each element is displayed cleanly and distinctly.

Tablet Layout:

Columns: Select from 1 to 6 columns, with margin values consistent with the desktop layout.

Slideshow Settings (can be applied if Display Type is set to "Slideshow"):

Autoplay: Enable automatic sliding with options to set the interval and determine the sliding behavior (one by one or all visible), enhancing the interactive aspect of the slideshow.

Block Settings:

Image Block:

Color Scheme and Overlay Opacity: Tailor the visual backdrop and text visibility by adjusting the color settings and the transparency of the text overlay.
Image Picker: Select images that resonate with your campaign or product feature.  
Banner Link: Optionally, set the entire image area to act as a link to direct users to detailed content or landing pages.
Content Positioning: Adjust where on the image the text and buttons will appear (e.g., Top Left, Middle Center, Bottom Right).
Padding: Choose the padding range from 0 to 80 pixels to ensure content within the image block is spaced effectively and remains visually appealing.

Text Block:

Content: Incorporate a combination of SVG images (optional), subheadings, headings, and body text to convey your message clearly.
Button: Add a button, set up the label, link, and choose a button style (primary, secondary, or link) to prompt user actions. Button settings become inactive if the banner link is used.
Style and Layout:
Color Scheme: Adjust to match or contrast with the overall design.
Padding Slider: Control padding to create sufficient space around the text, enhancing readability.
Text Position: Position your text at the top, middle, or bottom of the block.
Text Alignment: Align your text left, center, or right based on the layout and design preference.

Product Block:

Select Product: Choose which product to highlight within the banner, ensuring it aligns with the overall theme or focus of the section.
Color Scheme: Customize the color settings to differentiate the product block from other content.
Card Text Content Options: Decide whether to show just the name, the name and price, or no text at all.
Text Alignment: Adjust how text is displayed within the product card to maintain consistency or highlight specific elements.

Video Block:

Video URL: Insert a link to a video that complements or enhances the banner grid content. Supported platforms include YouTube, Vimeo, and direct MP4 files. Banner Link: Like the image block, the entire video area can serve as a clickable link, useful for campaigns where the video itself is the main call to action.
Content Styles: Choose from predefined text styles for headings, subheadings, and body text. Buttons within the video block can also be styled to match the overall design.
Heading Position: Place headings within specific areas of the video block to ensure they are clearly visible and effectively convey your message.
Padding: Adjust from 0 to 80 pixels to ensure all elements within the video block are spaced appropriately.
