# Side Buttons

You can use the configuration options of the Slider to manage the settings of its side buttons.

When enabled, the side buttons increase or decrease the component value with the predefined step. If the initial value does not directly match a specific tick and the user clicks either of the buttons, the handle is placed on the next available tick. Each subsequent click moves the handle over the available ticks.

The Slider provides configuration options for:

* [Showing and hiding](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/slider/side-buttons#hidden-state) the side buttons.
* [Setting the titles](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/slider/side-buttons#titles) of the side buttons.

## Hidden State

By default, the [`showButtons`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/slidercomponent#showbuttons) property is set to `true`. To hide the buttons, set the property to `false`.

## Titles

The titles of the buttons can be controlled by using the [`decrementTitle`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/slidercomponent#decrementtitle) and [`incrementTitle`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/slidercomponent#incrementtitle) properties, which accept `string` parameters.
