Is there any way to stop the animated slideshow after the user has engaged with the control arrows. It's frustrating for visitors when the slides continue to flip through once they are actively participating in observing and controlling the slides.

Do you mean keeping the current animation when auto-play the gallery but stop this animation when you click on the arrow button?

Yes. I agree. In the past, I thought Squarespace paused the transition between slides on mouseover. That doesn't seem to happen anymore. Is there any code that will return this functionality?

Yes - I'm good with the current slide animation. But I'd like for it to stop auto-sliding once the user has clicked the arrow button.

The animation continues to auto-slide and the user ends up fighting the auto-slide to go back and study images that they liked.

Is there any CSS code for this?
