 * Hello Support,
 * sorry, if I miss the information, but I could not find it in the forum or in 
   the documentation.
 * Is there a way to make the thumbnails clickable, to the same link where the pictures
   go?
 * Thanks! Brisch

 * Hi [@brisch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brisch/)!
 * I’m sorry but there’s no way to create something like this. The thumbnails can
   only be used for navigation inside the slider.
 * You could create ‘thumbnails’ with different links if you would build your own
   thumbnails with Row, Column, and Image layers. The downside of this is that you
   would have to add this “thumbnail row” to every slide of your slider. You could
   create it on one slide and copy it to the others using the Copy option at the
   Layer List:
    [https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1815-layer-list](https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1815-layer-list)
   but if you would need to make any changes (e.g. adding a new image) you’d have
   to update every slide manually.
 * The upside of this is that you could mark which thumbnail represents the currently
   visible slide’s image.
 * Alternatively, you could use a Static Overlay:
    [https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1764-slider-settings#add-slide](https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1764-slider-settings#add-slide)
   to create these thumbnails. A Static Overlay is a special slide that appears 
   on top of all other slides in the slider, without switching away. The upside 
   of this is that you won’t have to modify the thumbnails on each slide, but the
   downside is that you won’t be able to mark which thumbnail represents the currently
   visible slide.

 * Thank you, [@nextendnorbert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nextendnorbert/),
   for your detailed answer!
 * BTW, It is really amazing how many options your plugin has.
 * Blessings, Brisch
