How to Show/Hide and Edit the Scrolling Ticker

The Scrolling Ticker allows you to either display the latest news headlines on your website or you can add your own text. For example, you might want to share an update such as a day that the surgery will be closed.

You can easily update the Scrolling Ticker on your website to display some new text, or you can hide the ticker or set it to show if it isn’t currently displayed.

To do any of these actions, navigate to Dashboard > Home Page > Scrolling Ticker.
