  Today we turn our attention to SharePoint modern web parts which allow you to add links to your page, to take people to content elsewhere within or outside of SharePoint. These include the Hero web part, and two types of link web parts. This is part of our ongoing series on modern SharePoint web parts, as we deep-dive into each web part, its configuration options, and usage.

  This is an attractive web part which allows you to add visual links to pages, images, or documents in various layouts. It works best in a full-page (Communication site) or single-column section. Microsoft has quite a detailed page about this web part, as it’s a big part of a Communication site.

  You would first want to select a layout, choosing anywhere from one to five tiles (five is the default) or layers. Tiles gives you one large tile and multiple smaller tiles, whereas Layers is a more vertical layout showing an image and text alternating from side to side. The layout is the only thing you can specify in the Hero web part’s main configuration pane. If you’re using the Hero web part on a Communication site, the layout will depend upon which type of site you chose: Tiled is the default for a Topic site, whereas Layered is the default for a Showcase site. But you can still change this by editing the web part.

  After choosing the layout, click on any tile or layer to add a link. This can be to a document, image, or page within your SharePoint site, or you can link to another URL (including external sites) if you’re sure your users will be able to view it.
  Note that you’ll probably want to only link to items with an associated image, as this web part is really meant to give visual interest to your page. If the user clicks on the image, it will open the image link, or if you linked to a document then the document will download.
  Click Select Link in one of the Hero content areas, and the standard interface to select items for modern web parts will appear. We’ve covered this UI element in past posts. After selecting an item, an image from the link will be displayed automatically; for example, this might be an image from a document you’ve linked to. When you hover over the tile or layer, you’ll now see a small edit icon in the lower right, which you can use to edit the link text, image, and some other options – the sections are described below. There are also tools to set the focus of the image, and to zoom in or out.  In the lower left is a Move icon, to move the tiles/layers around within the Hero Web Part.

  IMPROVE READABILITY OF TEXT

  With one clicks, users can quickly increase or decrease text size on their web page according to their viewing requirements, making text more readable, easier and comfortable on their eyes.

  Over 200 million users worldwide rely on SharePoint to collaborate and share all types of documents, and videos are no exception. SharePoint is great when it comes to sharing and collaborating on documents such as Word files, PowerPoint files, Excel files etc. However, it has not always been the best when it comes to video. As a user, you’d want videos to be embedded (on the SharePoint site or any external site) or be readily streamed when you access them through a folder in SharePoint.

  There are a range of video use scenarios that you may want to benefit from when it comes to SharePoint. Thankfully, with Microsoft’s vision regarding Microsoft Stream, a lot of these video use case scenarios can be fulfilled through functionalities in SharePoint itself – without the need to get another third-party application. The New Microsoft Stream also makes matters easy as well, by bringing the video experience in SharePoint.
