How to Configure the Link Tiles Web Part

The links tiles are highly configurable and allow options including linking to forms, web based applications and other pages or site.

With Link Tiles, you're also able to control the behaviour of tiles when clicked e.g. opening on the current page, open in a new tab or bringing the link up in a Frame.

You can also link off to Power Apps or Microsoft Forms along with links to external sites and internal systems.
