    Hi there,

    The carousel block does not have width settings built into it (it is intended to adopt the layout width of the theme) but you can get around this by placing it within a Group Block, which does have a width setting and that setting also applies to anything contained inside that group.

    This is difficult to explain in words, so I recorded a quick video to show you how to do it. You can view the video at this link.

    Another option would be to use the Layout Grid block (which is also a block that can contain other blocks inside of it) and adjusting the size of the carousel that way

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

    Hey @staff-totoro,
    Thank you very much for this quick advice, I see how we can nest blocks into block – it helps a lot! I used Group Block and it gave me experience that I expected :)
