How Do I Work with Callouts?

Purpose

Callout microcontent is a handy tool. It adds extra information or highlights to your website content. It's ideal for providing context, emphasizing key points, or offering additional details.

When to use

Consider using Callout microcontent:

  • On landing pages to provide more context or information
  • Within Basic page content or Book pages to break up larger blocks of text
  • To highlight important points or emphasize key messages

Elements

  • Linkless: Unlike Promo microcontent, Callout microcontent doesn't require a link. It's primarily used for informational purposes.
  • Flexibility: You can use Callout microcontent in many places, like Landing pages, Basic pages, and Book pages.

Special Note: Below is an example of what Callout microcontents looks like on Landing pages, Basic pages, and Book pages.
