Featured People Block

Use Cases

The Featured People block provides an effective way to spotlight individuals. The block allows creators to display a person’s headshot, name and title, along with a link to an external resource. While it’s often used to highlight a single person, the block also supports the display of multiple profiles so creators can showcase an entire group of people at once.
