- Manual liftups are used to direct users towards the key content sections of the site, and can be seen as navigational items or links. With manual liftups, you manually select one or more pages where you want to guide the users to. Depending on which manual liftup style you choose, the component will display the title of the page, or title, main image and summary.
- Automatic liftups are used is used to display content, such as news and events, as an automatically updating liftup feed. It shows the most recent items that match the liftup settings. For example, if you want to show the latest news related to a certain topic, you can set an automatic liftup to find all news with tags related to that topic. The component will display the most recent items.
