Add arrows to featured collection slider (Dawn theme)

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Adding left/right arrows to the Featured Collection slider in the Shopify Dawn theme and limiting it to 4 products per slide were requested. The store URL and password were shared for reference.

A reply noted Dawn supports a desktop carousel and explained how to set “Number of columns on desktop” to 4 and enable “Enable carousel on desktop” in Online Store > Themes > Customize > Featured Collection, then save.

The original poster clarified this does not address the request; they specifically want side arrow navigation on the slider, not just enabling the carousel or changing columns. No steps or code for adding arrow controls were provided.

Key terms: Dawn theme (Shopify’s default theme), Featured Collection (section showcasing products), carousel (horizontal slider), columns (items shown per view).

Status: Unresolved; guidance for adding arrow buttons and enforcing 4 items per slide page is still needed.

Hi,

Is it possible to add side arrows to featured collections on main page? I’m using the Dawn theme.

And is it possible to show max 4 products per slide page?

Hi @Jiozx ,

The version of Dawn Theme allows a carousel on desktop and you can change the number of columns on desktop to 4.

  1. From your Admin Page, click Online Store > Themes > Customize

  2. Click the Featured Collection on the left panel, this should open the section settings

  3. Make sure Number of columns on desktop is set to 4, and Enable carousel on desktop is checked

  4. Click SAVE

That’s not what I asked for
