With the current parent portal we can add icons to the home page to provide links to third party systems, such as SOCS. It would be good to be able to do the same on the new cloud parent portal instead of just having a basic text link.
I totally agree with this. Adding icons or images as clickable links on the new cloud parent portal would definitely improve usability and make the interface more engaging.
The text-only links feel quite basic compared to the old version where we could add images.
Icons are more visually clear and user-friendly compared to plain text links especially for quick navigation.
This feature would make it easier for parents to quickly access third-party systems.
Hi
Are there any guidance notes on how to do this?
Thanks

The ability to create a bookmark page with multiple external links has been released in version 25.5.3.1.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. Just to confirm—our development team is working on bringing back the ability to stack multiple links on a single page.
We’re also looking into the option to add links to images.
Is good if the External Link can be stacked like what the old portal Has
I have just added the external link in the Homepage of the new Cloud Portal. Follow the navigation below to do this:
Cloud Portal Manager > Edit(Pencil icon of the new cloud URL) > Manage Pages > Add External Page > Enter the URL of the third party apps.
Agreed - we heavily use the 'Edit homepage' feature and embed links to our internal bespoke systems. If there is no customisation then it's a deal breaker for us and will seek another portal system.
