Common Questions
Q: What image dimensions work best for the Spotlight Block? A: For optimal display, spotlight images should be sized consistently. Aim for square images (1:1 ratio) with dimensions of at least 400px × 400px.
Q: How many spotlights should I include? A: While you can include up to 6, 3-4 spotlights often work best, especially for mobile viewing. Focus on your most important offerings rather than trying to include everything.
Q: Can I link each spotlight to a different page? A: In the standard configuration, spotlight items are not individually linkable. If you need clickable spotlights, consider customizing your campaign template.
Q: How should I organize multiple spotlights? A: Consider organizing spotlights in a logical sequence, such as:
- From most to least popular offerings
- In chronological order (for processes or steps)
- By category or related features
- From simple to complex solutions
