Shortcut tile options

You can add an image or title or description, or a combination.

Sizes are grouped by the largest tile in a block. Therefore if you want some of your tiles in a block to be full length with a description, and some without, you'll need to create them as separate blocks.

Here we have created a shortcut tile with just a title.

shortcut tile with title only

It will render on the viewer's page view like this:

If you have one tile with just a title and one with both an image and a title like so:

Shortcut tiles with a tile with a title only and another title with an image and title

Then it will default to the largest tile in the block and an empty space will appear where there is no image uploaded like so:

What is the optimum image size/ratio for shortcut tiles?

For shortcut tiles, the best image ratio is 2:1.

If you have the Professional and Enterprise plans, the ratios for the different-sized shortcut tiles are: 

Small 4 column = 2:1
Small 3 column = 3:1
Small 2 column = 4:1
Small 1 column = 8:1

Medium 4 column = 1:1
Medium 3 column = 3:2
Medium 2 column = 2:1
Medium 1 column = 4:1

Large 4 column = 4:5
Large 3 column = 1:1
Large 2 column = 8:5
Large 1 column = 4:1
