[Welcome](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/apps?hsLang=en#welcome) # Creating and managing content (Welcome) ## How to configure and manage content sections within the Welcome app, including rotating slides and SharePoint news integration The Welcome app provides flexible content options to engage users with dynamic and targeted information. This guide covers how to configure two key content features: rotating slides and SharePoint news articles. ### Jump to - [Create and manage slides](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/welcome-creating-and-managing-content#create-and-manage-slides) - [Add slide](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/welcome-creating-and-managing-content#add-slide) - [Add video slide](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/welcome-creating-and-managing-content#add-video-slide) - [Add page link](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/welcome-creating-and-managing-content#add-page-link) - [Display news posts](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/welcome-creating-and-managing-content#display-news-posts) - [Reordering content](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/welcome-creating-and-managing-content#reordering-content) - [Related articles](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/welcome-creating-and-managing-content#related-articles) --- ### Create and manage slides Slides are a visual, rotating content feature within the Welcome app. They are ideal for spotlighting announcements, campaigns, videos, and key information. When adding content, you can choose from three options: - **Add slide** – create engaging, fully branded content to highlight key messages - **Add video slide** – bring content to life with video-driven storytelling - **Add page link** – drive traffic to important SharePoint pages To configure slides: 1. Edit the page and select the Welcome web part. 2. In the web part property pane, expand the **Slides** section. 3. Select one of the following options: #### Add slide Use **Add slide** to create a fully customizable slide. You can configure: - **Title** and **Subtitle** – Add descriptive text for the slide. - **Background image** – Upload an image to visually represent the content along with alternative text. - **Overlay color and opacity** – control text readability by adjusting the overlay color and opacity. - **Call to action** – Optionally include a link to direct users to more information. - **Schedule visibility** – Optionally define start and end dates for the slide to appear. - **Audience targeting** – Optionally display slides only to specific user groups, if needed. #### Add video slide Use **Add video slide** to feature video content. You can upload your own video, link to an existing one, or reuse a video already stored within your SharePoint site. After selecting a video, you can configure the same options as a standard slide, including title, subtitle, overlay, scheduling, audience targeting. A thumbnail image for the video slide can also be added if required. #### Add page link Use **Add page link** to highlight an existing SharePoint page. The page title, subtitle, and image are automatically pulled through from the linked SharePoint page. You can optionally apply audience targeting to the slide. --- ### Display news posts **Note:** the news feature is available in the latest release of the Welcome app. Refer to our [release notes](https://support.accelerator365.com/en/welcome-release-notes?hsLang=en)for further details. The **News** section allows editors to surface SharePoint News posts directly within the Welcome app. When available, it provides a seamless way to promote updates, announcements, or key stories. To configure News: 1. Edit the Welcome web part and open the **News** section in the property pane. 2. Toggle **Enable News** to activate the section. 3. Choose the source – a SharePoint site(s) with news posts. 4. Optionally apply filters such as: - Recently added - Created by - Page properties 5. Enable **Audience targeting** to tailor content visibility by user group. 6. Set **Schedule visibility** windows for time-sensitive articles. **Note:** the news feature respects SharePoint's native news permissions and audience targeting settings. --- ### Reordering content The Welcome app allows manual reordering of both **Slides** and **News**, giving editors control over the sequence in which content appears. You can choose between grouped or fully custom content sequencing. - **Grouped order** – Choose to display either: - **News first**, then slides - **Slides first**, then news - **Custom order** – Drag and drop slides and pinned news into a single combined list in the exact sequence you want them to appear. **Note:** Use the custom order option if you want full editorial control over how messages and visual slides are arranged for the user experience. --- ### Related articles -
