Introduction

Dynamic Topic Microsites enables organizations to create richer topic page experiences with HTML content to better guide, engage and inform employees. Dynamic Topic Microsites are tied into the taxonomy-driven portal navigation, unlike legacy standalone microsites, to make it easy for the employee to discover them.

This capability is enabled through the introduction of a new content type, called “Rich Content”. This new content type comes with a drag-and-drop editor that is designed to enable non-technical content authors to create their HTML content with pre-defined layouts and components including texts, images, videos, links, and action buttons.​

Refer to product documentation on Rich Content Editor for additional details.
