Comparing Teaser and Lists

Main content start

By using Teaser and Lists paragraphs, you can display dynamic Events, News, and People throughout your site with ease.

With a Teaser, you can easily select specific pieces of content to display. With Lists, you can choose a list to display various content items dynamically.

Given their similarities, you may be uncertain about when to use a Teaser or a List. Review the chart below for a few example use cases.
