Introduction: Newsroom Homepage
This guide will help you set up and maintain the Newsroom homepage. The homepage is the central entry point to your Newsroom — it should effectively showcase available content, make navigation easy, and help visitors quickly find what they are looking for.
The homepage is built using Newsroom modules, which you can add, remove, and rearrange to fit your needs. This guide walks you through the setup process and explains what each module does.
Step 1: Set Up the Homepage
The Page layout is the backbone of every page in the Newsroom, including the homepage, articles, custom pages, and the Media Asset Library. Use it to manage and rearrange all modules on the homepage.
Navigate to Newsroom in the navigation bar and select Homepage from the dropdown. The Page layout displays all modules currently enabled for the homepage. Changes made here are visible immediately. Drag and drop modules to rearrange them. Hover over a module and click Edit to make changes, or click Delete to remove it.
Go to Page Layout for details.
Step 2: Add a Module
Use the left sidebar to browse and add new modules to the homepage. Use the search bar or scroll to find the module you want to add. Click the module to add it, follow the setup steps, and click Save. In the Page layout, drag and drop the module into the preferred position.

Top Section of the Newsroom
The top section is the first thing visitors see when they land on your newsroom. Newsroom modules which you often see here are:

- News Carousel or Featured Article: Displays two to ten recent or feature one article using the Carousel module or Featured Article modules. Articles appear in chronological order, but filters can be applied based on tags.

- Featured Topics Section: Uses the Button or Tag Cloud module to highlight key topics, linking to related content such as thought leadership pages.
