How are slides supplied to the carousel?

So far I tried the modules Views Slideshow and Flex Slider. With such modules I can add slides by simply creating new content of content type Slide, that has the elements listed below.

  • A title, that is going to be used for the caption
  • An image field for the image of the slide
  • A text field for the url I may want to associate to a slide with an anchor tag

Would I be able to handle the slides the same way with Paragraphs Bootstrap Carousel?
If not, how would the slides be passed?
You know, the idea of using the Bootstrap 5 carousel is appealing to me, as the theme I'm using presumes the availability of the Bootstrap framework. Therefore, such carousels wouldn't require any additional libraries.

Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out what I'm asking about by reading the description. Should I just try to tinker?

Thanks in advance!

    Hum why don't you try it before seeking help? It's simple use as most paragraphs. In widget mode you add content and in format mode you choose the mode you want to show

    I took my time to install and try.
    Maybe I'm thick-headed, anyway I didn't find the usage any straightforward.
    I reckon that the paragraph "Bootstrap Carousel" must be the unit that define each single possible slide for a carousel. If that is really the case, then I would call rather call it "Bootstrap carousel slide". For the same reason the label for "field_image" should be "image", instead of "images"... besides it is impossible to choose multiple images within a same instance of the paragraph.
    And so far I could not figure out how to set up a carousel by combining different instances of the same paragraph representing the single slide. If I use a paragraph like the mentioned one as a field of a content type, I definitely don't know how transform that into a carousel. What documentation or suggestion am I missing?

    Thanks in advance!

    P.S. I take the chance to point to a definitely minor issue: a typo in the description of the mentioned paragraph: "Exemple Bootstrap Carousel".
