Customising Title Styles on a Page

You can customize the title area with an image, a choice of four layouts, text above the title, the ability to change the displayed author, and you can show or hide the published date.

  1. To add an image, click "Add image" in the toolbar on the left.

    SP Titles - Image Select
    1. Note: Images look best when they are landscape or 16:9 or greater in aspect ratio, and when they are at least 1 MB in size
  2. You can set a focal point to get the most important part of your picture in the frame. Click Set focal point in the toolbar on the left, and within the image, drag the focal point where you want it.

  3. In the title area, add a name, partial name, or email name in the author box. The name will be searched against your organisation's profiles, and you will be presented with suggested people. Choose the one you want, and you're done! If you do not enter a name, an author byline will not show.

  5. You can also add text in a coloured block above your title to qualify the title or call attention to something on the page, as in the example below where NEW is the text above the title. In newspaper jargon, this is called a kicker. The colour of the block the text is in is based on your site theme.
