What Makes a Tile Complete?
Every tile needs specific information before it can be published. Think of it like a checklist. When all items are filled in, your tile is ready to go live.
Required Fields for All Tiles
| Field | What It Is | Where to Find It |
| Headline | The title employees see | Top of tile editor |
| Summary | Brief description (2-3 sentences) | Below headline |
| Image | Visual for the tile | Image upload section |
| Category | Topic grouping | Tile settings |
Note: Different tile types may have additional required fields. Quiz tiles need questions. Link tiles need a URL.
How to Check What's Missing
Step 1: Open the tile editor
- Go to your Content tab
- Find the incomplete tile

- Click to open the editor
What you'll see: The tile editing screen with all fields
Step 2: Look for warning indicators
Airbo shows you what's missing:
- Red outlines around empty required fields
- Warning messages at the top of the editor

- A status indicator showing "Incomplete"
Tip: Scroll through the entire editor. Some required fields are below the fold and easy to miss.
Step 3: Fill in the missing fields
Enter content for any fields marked as required. Click Save after each change.
Common Reasons Tiles Show Incomplete
1. Missing headline or summary
What happened: The tile has content but no title or description.
Fix: Add a clear headline (keep it under 50 characters) and a 2-3 sentence summary.
2. No image uploaded
What happened: The tile needs a visual, but none was added.
Fix: Upload an image. Recommended size is 1200x628 pixels. JPG or PNG works best.
3. Quiz tile without questions
What happened: You created a quiz tile but didn't add the quiz questions yet.
Fix: Click into the quiz section and add at least one question with answer choices.
4. Link tile without a URL
What happened: The tile is supposed to link somewhere, but the URL field is empty.
Fix: Add the full URL (including https://) to the link field.
5. Category not selected
What happened: The tile needs to be assigned to a category for organization.
Fix: Choose a category from the dropdown in tile settings.
Quick Checklist for Complete Tiles
Use this checklist before publishing:
- [ ] Headline is filled in
- [ ] Summary describes what the tile is about
- [ ] Image is uploaded and looks good
- [ ] Category is selected
- [ ] All tile-specific fields are complete (quiz questions, links, etc.)
- [ ] No red warning indicators are showing
Tips for Success
- Do this: Write your headline and summary first, then add other content
- Avoid this: Leaving tiles half-finished in your drafts
- Remember: You can preview tiles before publishing to see how they'll look to employees
