Using the Online Content Tile

The Online Content Tile is used to link to a web page or online resource. 

Why use the Online Content Tile?

Authors often use the Online Content Tile to link to their professional profile (LinkedIn, ResearchGate or staff page), their organisation or project’s web page, a video they have uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo, online references and papers related to their work or to link to another online resource that they have created. The Tiles titled University of Leeds and LRF19 Keynote in this example stack are both Online Content Tiles.

Using the Online Content Tile

Drag and drop an Online Content Tile from the Tile Library into your stack (1). In the Settings tab, give your tile a title (2) and and then type (or paste in) the link to the webpage you want to use and click Add (3).

The tile will be linked to that webpage and (if the website passes us this information) a background image and description will be added to the tile.

If you want to use a different background image for your tile or make any other appearance changes to your tile then you can do that in the Layout Tab (3).

Remember to Save your stack after you have added new information.
