The spotlight feature available on your Knorish site is a great way to share important updates, announcements, or news about new courses through a student's dashboard. This ensures that users are kept informed of all the important communication that they may need to know. Spotlight shows up as a message whenever a student logins to your Knorish site.
A spotlight can be used for:
- Announcements / notifications
- Call-to-action - Redirecting to another page such as contact us, course page for sales, etc
This feature can be run singularly or in combination with multiple spotlight message sliders with a choice of CTA buttons and customized messages.
