6 Tips for Using the Highlighted Content Web Part (HCWP) in SharePoint Online

The following are six tips for using the highlighted content web part (HCWP):

• Choose the right content source. The HCWP is capable of displaying content from a variety of sources, so choose the source most relevant to the page and audience.
• Utilize filters to narrow down the results. Filters allow one to display only the content most relevant to the audience.
• Sort the content in a specific order. It is possible to sort the content in the HCWP in a variety of ways, such as by date, title, or author.
• Choose a layout which matches the content and the page. The HCWP offers four different layouts: Cards, List, Carousel, and Filmstrip.
• Use dynamic content. The HCWP allows one to display dynamic content, such as the most recent documents, the most popular news articles, or the most viewed videos.
• Use the HCWP in conjunction with other web parts. The HCWP can be utilized in conjunction with other web parts to create more complex and engaging content displays.
