Thanks, Lindsay. Yes. I can do that.
To add more records to the bucket at that point, though, I would have to use the Record Query tab, which isn't very good for complicated searches. Our libraries aren't very familiar with the interface, either. After emailing, I did discover I can add a title directly to a carousel from the record's view in the catalog. [image: image.png] However, this still creates a disconnect from the bucket that the library created and the carousel that displays. Libraries should be able to add/update their logically named and accessible bucket and have the carousel update automatically. I think I will file a bug report.
