  1. Go to Content > Add Content > Spotlight 
  2. Type in a title in the Title field 
  3. Select your Spotlight type (if applicable). This field is used to sort and organize spotlights within your site. If you need additional spotlight types, contact your site administrator. 
  4. Type or paste your content into the Body field. 
  5. Add optional Paragraphs 
  6. Upload a Featured Image. This image will display in the upper right-hand corner of your page and will also be used as a thumbnail on blocks and archive pages. 
    • Click upload to add an image.
    • Size requirement: Images must be at least 450px wide by 450px high.
    • Setting the Focal Point: The system will automatically crop your image into a circle. To ensure the best part of your photo isn't cut off, click on the image or drag the crosshair icon to the most important part of the photo (like a person's face).

  8. To add a Tag, begin typing in the name of an existing tag in the autocomplete field and select it from the dropdown. If there is not an existing tag for that term, one will be created upon saving.
  9. If your spotlight contains time-sensitive or temporary information, you can set the Effective Dates. This will automatically publish and unpublish your spotlights on the dates you specify. By default the Effective Dates are set to not expire. 
  10. Click the ‘Save’ button at the top of the page.
