1. Graphic header image(s)
2. Graphic header navigation (if "Banner slide show" option was selected)

Graphic Header Display

Single banner image - If your page has at least one available graphic header image selected as active for this page, you may choose this option to display a single graphic header image each time your page loads. If your page has just one available graphic header image selected as active for this page, this image will appear each time your page loads. If you page has more than one available graphic header image selected as active for this page, just one of your images will be selected at random to be displayed each time your page loads.

Banner slide show - If your page has more than one available graphic header image selected as active for this page, you may choose this option to display a "slide show" of your page's selected graphic header images each time your page loads. Up to five of your images will be selected at random to be displayed each time your page loads. The images in your slide show will be presented in random order and will automatically transition from one image to the next in an endless display loop. Your users can also choose to manually navigate back and forth through your slide show's images by way of the graphic header navigation style you specify in the Website > Site Design > Graphic Header section.

Do not display Graphic Headers - Select this option if you don't wish to display any graphic header images on your page. Even if your page has one or more available graphic header images selected as active for this page, none will be displayed if this option is selected.
