Promos
A promo is a "teaser" module that encourages a visitor to view the associated item, which increases engagement with your website. Promos typically have some combination of the following components:
Headline
Body text
Image, video, or gallery
Link to the promoted page
The following illustration is an example of a promo with four elements: headline, body text, image, and (not visible) a link pointing to the target video.
In the content edit page, open or create the item to which you want to add a promo.
Toward the right of the widget, select |mi-more_horiz| > Overrides. A widget appears.
Expand Layout Overrides. Drop-down lists Above, Aside, and Below appear for the module's position. For an illustration of these positions, see the diagram Examples of module placement.
From one of the drop-down lists, select Replace. For an explanation of the possible selections for module placement, see Module placement.
Click |mi-add_circle_outline|, and select Promo. A form appears.
From the Item list, select one of the following:
Internal—The promoted item is part of your Brightspot project and uses a standard layout.
External—The promoted item is at a URL external to your Brightspot project.
No Link—The promoted item is part of your Brightspot project and uses a customized layout you can configure.
Using the following table as a reference, design the promo.
