How to create Embedded facts and figures

Create Embedded Facts and figures to display a combination of facts and images embedded within another content type, such as a Web page. By default, the carousel option is enabled and will scroll through the facts and figures depending on your settings, however if you disable the carousel option, the Facts and figures will appear vertically, one after the other.

Note: Content Authors cannot create Embedded Facts and figures.

Known issue:

  • The only supported bubble background colour choice is "Grey", even though "Black" and "White" are provided options. Black and white are not supported at this time.
