add a button and connect it to the dataset. you can then set the action for that button.

adding a loop would require code, maybe something like this

```javascript
function nextItem(dataset) {
        if (dataset.hasNext()) {
            dataset.next();
        } else {
            dataset.setCurrentItemIndex(0); 
        }
    }

```

It doesn’t work. It has 9 items in my dataset but I change it to show only 3 so it will look like a slider and put loop.
