    AB21805 you cold use the Quick Links web part in a modern SharePoint page and set the layout of the web part to grid.

AB21805 no, it's not if you're using the grid layout. With the button layout this can be done.

Can you fill a tile with a image?

    You can add the image but it won't file the entire tile.

    Classic and Modern SharePoint are very different animals so don't waste time trying to get things to work in modern that you could do in classic.

    No I don't have any links to useful guides. Just try YouTube with the search term "learning SharePoint"

      Hi RobElliott 

       

      So I have managed to fill the tile however no name for the tile can be inputted. 

       

       

      I really need to implement something the replicates: 

       

       

      There has to be something close? Or some sort of code I can add to make it like this?

        Regarding classic sharepoint will this stop being available soon or will it not retire any time in the next couple years?
