# How to change the side images in PrestShop 1.6

Once you have upgraded or installed a new PrestaShop 1.6 installation you will experience a new default theme layout. It is much more up to date in appearance and is responsive, which is great for your customers using various devices. On the new template, you will see some images to the right of the image slider. These image spots are great to announce upcoming sales or new products. Below we guide you on how to change those images so you can insert your own.
