Please note
Animation styles can cause accessibility issues for some users visiting your website. For example, some users may experience motion sickness when viewing animated elements on your website.
Using the 'Animation delay' slider select the time in seconds that you'd like to delay the animation.
Please note
Animation delay can cause accessibility issues for some users visiting your website. Certain animation styles and delays can combine to make your animated component invisible to screen readers. Please test your animations to make sure they are accessible.
You can select how long you'd like the animation to last on the component by using the 'Animation duration' slider. Select the number of seconds you'd like the animation to continue on the public website.
Advanced
In the 'Name' field you can give a unique name to the component. This will make it easier to differentiate between components, both on your page as well as in your clipboard.
In the 'Custom classes' field, you can add any custom CSS classes you may have. Custom CSS classes can be found in the Design node under the 'CSS' tab in the backend of Govstack.
If you'd like to add more than one custom class, you'll need to leave a space between each class.
Please note
Depending on your Govstack plan, you may not be able to access the Design node in the backend. If you'd like to be able to add custom CSS and get access to the website design, contact your GHD Digital Account Executive.
We cannot guarantee that future updates to Govstack will not break or negatively impact custom CSS.
Turn on the 'Hide from website' toggle if you'd like to hide this component from the web page.
