Click on All Promoted Links view to add a new link.īefore creating your new promoted links, you need to create a new picture library to store the images for your links.

All you need to do is create a new Promoted Links list and add links that you need to display as tiles. Promoted Links is a new list template added in SharePoint 2013 to add links that needs to be promoted as Tiles. In order to create a set of tiles we will use a new app list template called “Promoted Links.” If you want you can leave tiles on this page and create a new page to add your own set of tiles. Start by removing the existing tiles, use “Remove this” just above these tiles. We will replace this with our own tile structure (with one tile for now). This can be very useful to promote some of the important links on your company's intranet home page. In this blog I will show you how to create a tile-like structure for your own site. If you have used SharePoint 2013 you will have seen the tiles on the default home page of your new SharePoint 2013 site.
