Click on "Add" on all the saved links that will be part of the grid of communities that you want to display. In this example, we will add 4 communities.

Click on "Copy Code". The code will be automatically copied to your clipboard.
Each community will show the name of the saved link, a default image, the price range and the number of properties. The images are retrieved from Google using a Creative Commons license. If no images are found, a default image will be used.

The data of the community name and the image can be edited. To edit a community, click on the "Edit Area" icon. A popup will show up with all the fields that can be updated.

Click on "Edit" to update the information.
In the following example, we will update the image and mark the community area as "featured".
