The new webpart has several new layouts you can use to show links to other stuff on your SharePoint page. The links can be to anything with a URL both internal and external links will be fine.

Add the webpart to a page and you can select between several new layouts.

  • Compact
  • Filmstrip
  • Grid
  • Button
  • List
  • Tiles

Several of them can be configured to show pictures or icon in addition to text.

Auto-Select will try to find a image or icon from whatever you are linking to, custom image lets you select your own image. The last one, icon, is my new favorite. It lets you select directly from several hundred icons.
