The Story

Ask once. Then get out of the way.

Important actions get lost among the news posts and banners on a busy intranet. Spotlight shows a single call to action, with an image, title, description, and link, where users can't miss it. What sets it apart from promoted news and other web parts is that users can dismiss it once they've acted, and that dismissal is recognized across their devices.

It's for communicators running campaigns, time-sensitive actions such as open enrollment, and all-company announcements. Content owners pick from multiple layouts, use Spotlight across sites to control who sees the message, and can switch off dismissal when a Spotlight needs to stay up for a set period.

01 Feature

Dismissable

Users dismiss the Spotlight once they've completed the action, and it stays dismissed across devices. Content owners can turn this off when a message needs to stay visible.

02 Feature

Works across sites

Use Spotlight across sites so content owners control who receives the call to action.

03 Feature

Easy to manage

Choose a layout to suit the message. The editing pane makes it easy to add an image, title, description, and link without affecting the rest of the site.
