How to add a Callout to a Basic page

Select Callout as the microcontent type. You can either select the Callout microcontent you have already created from the library tab, or you can create a new Callout from here. If you create a new Callout, it will be saved and appear in the microcontent library tab.

If you're adding the Callout to a block on your page, be sure to choose a layout within the dropdown menu - Callout - Text Only or Callout - With Image.

Tip: If you've added a Featured Image to your Callout, but selected Callout - Text Only accidentally when inserting your Callout, the image won't show.
