When the button is selected, a mini-toolbar will appear just underneath it. In this menu, you can click the Link button to edit the hyperlink for this button:
A menu will appear. In the first field, you can enter the URL you are linking to:

The third field is the Title field, which can be used to set the text that is displayed when hovering over a link:
You can also link this button to a particular section by clicking the Section dropdown, and making a selection.
When you are done, click OK.
If you want to remove the link and convert the button into a plain text field, click the Unlink button in the mini-toolbar:
You can also open and adjust a number of button settings by clicking the gear icon on this menu:
Settings will appear on the side panel. You can change the base color of the button by clicking the color circle, and selecting a color:

A slider is an object that displays a series of images. To add a slider to the page, click the plus (+) button on the upper toolbar, and click Slider:

Selecting No on the Autoplay dropdown will turn off Autoplay. Users will click through each image on their own.
