The Callout Banner Widget displays a headline and optional detail description overlaying an image of your choice. It also has either a button linking to another page or search box to search more content the viewer might be interested in. 

1. To add a new widget to your site you must get to the layout area. First, click on the Layout button on the top right side of the page.

2. Select Create New Widget and click on the Callout Banner  option.

3. Enter a name for the Widget Description.

4. Select Banner Size (Full width or Content width).

5. Upload an image from your computer or from Previously uploaded files tab. (For best results, the image should be 1920 x 1080 pixels. The image should not contain text or busy patterns that will distract from the main text. It is a decorative background image, and the content is not accessible to screen reader users.)

6. Enter a headline in Headline box.

7. Enter a longer description or tagline in Text box if desired.

8. Select Link button or Search box in Call to Action Style.

• If you select "Link button," you will be required to enter a link URL and text to use on the button. This will serve as a call to action link, so the text should be succinct.
• If you select "Search box," the user will see an input field for search keywords. It allows them to search all the OpenScholar sites at your institution. In the future, we plan to add an option to restrict the search to your own site.

9. Click Save button. 

10. Drag the widget from the widget library and place anywhere within the layout.

11. Save the layout and view the result.
