We know that these aren\u2019t trivial changes, which is why we\u2019re delivering them gradually over the next upcoming releases.

While previously each widget focused on showcasing an individual type of content (campaigns, ideas, news, etc.) \u2013 the Hive Smart Display Widget allows you to promote any combination of content items that you see as relevant, all within the same strip. This is perfect for the header of your page, where you might want to promote not only your flagship campaign, but also a news post celebrating your recent success, a video from your CEO, and perhaps even your \u2018how it works\u2019 guide, all in a seamless and engaging strip.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qmarkets.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Summer-Product-Release-Content-HiveCrop.png\" alt=\"Innovation Platform Product Release 2020 - content hive widget\" width=\"579\" height=\"201\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>An Intelligent Content Spotlight Widget That Does the Work for You &#8211; <\/strong>Another way of showcasing content on your homepage is through dedicated \u2018idea\u2019 or \u2018campaign\u2019 widgets.
