Useful Links (Atlas) web part

The Useful Links (Atlas) web part displays links to content either inside or outside of Atlas set by the Content Managers of the current workspace. Each workspace in Atlas has its own Useful Links list, so links are only configurable per workspace and wherever the web part is used in the same workspace users will see the same links.

If you want to add links that can be seen across all workspaces you should consider adding those to the Launchpad, Global Navigation or Footer Links instead of Useful Links.

In Atlas 2.1 onwards users can also curate personal links from the My Links list which can be accessed via the Atlas button.

The Useful Links web part will be shown by default on certain types of page such as Landing Pages.
