Teaser widget

The Teaser widget allows you to highlight topics and content effectively, with a link to a specified source.

Set up the widget

The following options are available when configuring the widget:

Add new teaser / Edit
- Image: Select an image that is shown for the newly created or edited teaser tile.
- Alternative text: Add text that gets read by screen readers to make your platform more accessible.
- Headline: Enter a title that reflects the tile's topic best.
- Subline: Enter a subline that adds additional information to the tile's topic.
- Link: Insert a link to submit a source that the tile leads to.
- Open in a new browser tab: Select if the linked source opens in a new or the same browser tab. Typically, sources from within the platform open in the same window while external content opens in a new tab.
