SNO Adds Timeline and Imagelink updates to Site Booster Add-on

It’s still early in 2025, but SNO has been busy adding new tools for our sites.

In just the last month we rolled out new Timeline and ImageLink tools, which are now available on the dashboard of your SNO Site, if you have the Site Booster add-on.

The ImageLink allows you to place hotspots on an image, which readers can then hover over and click to obtain additional information.

This is a static image of a map with dots in different parts that represent award-winning online news sites from SNO.

The Timeline allows you to create an animating Timeline with dates, text and media.

Previously, to get the functionality of these tools you would need to create the graphic with a third party website and place it into your story with an embed code, which is still an option for anyone who would prefer to keep doing that. 

However, now that these tools are available natively on your site with SNO’s Site Booster, you will have the option to create and design them in one place, then easily drop them into your story as a SNO Story Element, without having to deal with any embed codes.
