# RSS Feed
## **What is RSS Feed?**
This web part transforms your intranet into the central hub for receiving news from different websites and blogs. This new component enables seamless **integration of a website's feed within the intranet**. Users have the flexibility to showcase news from various outlets or blogs. It's an engaging way to keep everyone updated by consolidating both internal and external company news in one accessible location.

## Configuration
1. [View settings](#view-settings)
2. [Rss feed settings](#rss-feed-settings)
3. [Setting up feed fields](#rss-feed-settings)
### View settings
In this section you can choose the **layout** of the RSS Feed.
{% hint style="info" %}
* If you're not in edit mode already, click **Edit** at the top right of the page.
* Select the Rss Feed web part, then click **Edit properties** **button** on the left side of the Rss Feed web part.
{% endhint %}
By opening this first configuration, you will see the following options:
* **Do you want to hide the background?** You can choose to hide or display the webpart background The default setting is “No”. This means that, by default, the webpart is characterized by a white background. If you enable this option, the white card background will be completely removed, allowing the content appear directly on the page. As a result, the webpart will be transparent, showing either the selected background image or the chosen SharePoint page color.
* **Select the type of shadow you want to use:** if you decide to set the background shadow, a further configuration will appear and you can select the style from High Contrast, Light, or Dark options.
* If you select High contrast, this option creates a strong, bold shadow effect that provides a high level of contrast between the background and the content.
* By choosing the Light background shadow, it will create a soft and subtle effect, giving a more delicate and gentle depth to the background.
* Finally, the Dark background shadow style provides a darker, more intense effect, adding depth and emphasizing the background even more.
* **Do you want to hide the shadow?** You can choose whether to show or hide the background shadow. The default setting is “No”. This means that, by default, the webpart is characterized by a subtle depth effect that can make the webpart stand out more against the rest of the page. If you enable this option, the shadow behind the background will be removed, giving the web part a flatter, cleaner look without any depth.
* **Do you want to hide the title?** Here you can select whether to show the webpart title or hide it. If set to visible, the web part title will appear on the left side.
* **Enter the title:** Thanks to this configuration, you can customize the application title. If you keep it blank, SharePoint will show the default title “rss feed” at the top left angle of the webpart.
* **Select the view mode:**
* The **Default** layout consists of a **list** of articles.
* The **Carousel** layout consists of a **slider** characterized by a graphic style similar to that of [**Highlights**](https://docs.intranet.ai/sharepoint-intranet/configurations/highlights). If you select this layout, you can choose whether to set up **automatic sliding**.
