This article details the Page Feed Widget and how to manage it.

Pages 2.0 refers to the new version of Happeo Pages, released on April 2, 2025. All Happeo accounts created from this date onward use the new page editor by default.

What is the Page Feed Widget?

The Page Feed Widget is a page widget that allows users to display a curated list or grid of pages from a specific page group, enhancing content discoverability and enabling viewers to easily navigate to related content without extensive searching.

Use cases

• Team or department pages: Displaying links to project pages within a department's main page, allowing for easy access to team structures and ongoing work.
• Project hubs: Featuring related documentation, progress updates, and team communication pages within a project's overview page, centralizing all relevant information.
• Resource libraries: Showcasing links to different categories of resources (e.g., training materials, policy documents, templates) on a central resource page, making it easier for users to find what they need.
• Onboarding portals: Providing easy access to introductory materials, team introductions, and essential HR information for new employees.

How to set up the Page Feed Widget

To add pages to the page feed widget after placing it in a section:

1. Click the Select Page button located in the center of the widget.
2. To add all pages within a page group: Search for or scroll through the list of page groups and select the desired page group. All pages within that group will be automatically added. You can then filter out specific pages by clicking the down arrow next to the page group and deselecting those you don't want to include.
3. Alternatively, to select specific pages within a page group: Click the down arrow next to the page group to expand it, and then select the individual pages you wish to include. This allows you to choose pages without adding the entire group.

Important note: The page feed widget allows you to display pages from only one page group at a time. To showcase pages from multiple page groups, add separate page feed widgets within the same section.
