           Yes, you can create a multi-column carousel slider where only one column slides at a time using the built-in Webflow slider. Here's how you can achieve this:
- Add a "Slider" element to your Webflow project:
 
- Open the Webflow Designer and navigate to the desired page.
 - Drag and drop a "Slider" element from the Add Panel onto your canvas.
 
- Configure the slider settings:
 
- With the Slider element selected, open the Slider Settings panel on the right-hand side.
 - Set the "Slide type" to "Carousel".
 - Set the "Slides to show" value to the number of columns you want to display.
 
- Add columns to the slider:
 
- Within the Slider element, you can add multiple child elements to represent the columns of your slider.
 - You can use any desired element, like a "Div" block or a "Container" element, to create the columns.
 
- Style the columns:
 
- Select the child elements within the Slider element and apply desired styles to create the columns.
 - Configure the width and height of each column as per your design requirements.
 - You may also add margins or padding to separate the columns visually.
 
- Apply interactions to control sliding:
 
- Open the Interactions panel in the Designer.
 - Trigger the interaction using a button or any other element you want to use to control the slide.
 - Add a "Slide" or "Move" animation to the interaction that affects the position of the Slider element.
 - Set the "Slide" or "Move" animation to affect the "X" position of the Slider element.
 - Specify the amount of distance the Slider should move horizontally with each interaction.
 
- Preview and refine:
 
- Preview the page to see how the slider behaves, and make any necessary adjustments to the column styles, animation settings, or other configurations.
 - Repeat Steps 3 to 6 as needed to add more columns or customize the slider further.
 
With these steps, you can create a multi-column carousel slider where only one column slides at a time using the built-in Webflow slider. Remember to preview your site and optimize the design and interactions accordingly to create a smooth user experience.
