Up to three spotlights can be highlighted on a webpage. The Spotlights Block will show the three most recent spotlights that meets the group(s) and area(s) selected for this block.

The Spotlights Block can be used in a row layout, to do so, set the spotlight count to 1 and the full-width layout needs to be off.

This block can be used in a full-width layout, toggle the Full Width Layout to on and the full-width layout is shown in the Editor.

NOTE: The URL for the Read More Spotlights button will not have the ability to be changed, like the News block. It will always point to the Outstanding in Their Field website.
