Add Sitesections to Your Sitemap

Most important parts of your documentation can be represented with tiles on the Heretto Portal home page.

Tiles can be linked to sections of different complexity. To learn how to manage different types of sections, see Basic Sitesection.

A tile is a clickable box that consists of a title, short description, and icon. On larger screens, tiles are displayed in three columns. On mobile devices, tiles are displayed either in two or in one column depending on the resolution
