# Press

An auto-cycling quote carousel for customer testimonials and press mentions. Each quote can include a photo and a name.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Look for "Press" in the theme editor.** This section is named **Press** — under the **Trust & social proof** category — not "Testimonials". Searching for "Testimonials" when adding a section will not find it.
{% endhint %}

## Presets

The section ships with two presets. Both are added from **Add section → Trust & social proof**.

| Preset            | Description                                                                           |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Press             | The standard layout — a subheading and the quotes carousel, with no background media. |
| Press: Background | The same layout with background media set, so the quotes sit over an image or video.  |
