Manual liftups
Manual liftups can be used to display several links to HUBs and content pages. It includes a description of the content and a set of links.
To add content to the manual liftup, click the button "Select content" under "Content liftups list".
Manual liftups have four display modes:
- Small should be used for links that might not have an image and mainly need to display the title.
- Mini liftup is for links with very small images; only the title is shown.
- Medium is for links with images, also showing a summary text.
- Accordion is for links with long summaries that need to be displayed.
Small, Mini liftup, and Medium can be displayed with two themes: Default and Bright. Below are examples of all four display modes and the two themes.
