Quick Links

Utilizing the Quick Links Webpart

Quick Links allow users to access both internal and external links. It serves as a directory that groups clickable tiles together. The tiles can direct employees to external websites, tools such as your payroll and service desk provider, or even document locations.

Sparrow Quick Links can be accessed through the Quick Links Web Part in SharePoint (“Content Query Viewer Tiles”). Once your administrator has added this web part into a SPO page, you can select a list that the web part will load and preview.
