Define Pinned, News and Call-to-Action Pages
Use page labels to feature certain articles on top of the content source pages in your help center.
The labeled pages will stand out over the rest of your articles and draw readers' attention to them in dedicated ‘News’ and ‘Pinned Pages’ sections or as a call-to-action button.

| A page with this label displays on top of the Content Source page right below the banner in a section with a title of your choice. The section can feature up to three pages and presents them in a row of cards. The page title from Confluence will show as the title of the card and the first lines of text of the page will show as the description right below.

A maximum of one page per content source can show up as a call to action button. The value set in the theme configurator under Pages > Content source page > Call to action button label will show as the title of the button. If empty, the title of the labeled Confluence page is used. |

| A page with this label will serve as the news source. This means: the first three children of the labeled page are displayed, right below the banner in a section with a title of your choice. The section can feature up to three pages and presents them in a list of three links. The page title from Confluence will show as the link text. Please note, the labeled page itself won’t show up. For any pages to show up, please label a page that has at least one child page. |
