With the options situated in the “Home Page” settings within the dashboard, you can show/hide the ticker (shown by default) and set whether to display the latest news posts (maximum of 8) or custom text. The ticker can be paused, resumed and also hidden (controls required to comply with Accessibility standards).
New – We have introduced a new button on the editor toolbar to create an “expander” box, which is a box that has a label and when you click it, the box then expands to display content within. This is an element within the NHS Design Manual and you can see an example of an expander box here – https://service-manual.nhs.uk/design-system/components/expander
To create an expander box, first write the content that you would like contained in the box in to your content editor as normal. Then highlight your text and click the “Add Expander” button:
This will open a small pop-up asking you to enter the label for your box. Once you have entered the label and clicked OK, you’ll notice this has wrapped your content in “shortcodes”. View your page and your content will now be inside an NHS expander box.
