# Navigate with tiles

**Tile's `linkTo`**

Tiles are located on your app's home, making them a strategic feature. Let's say you notice something unusual with one of the tiles. What if you could click on it to learn more?

This is where the `linkTo` option comes in! By using `linkTo`, you can create a link to a story, another view, a date, or even an external link.

When a `linkTo` is set up, a small arrow will appear at the top right corner of the tile, inviting users to click on it.

By clicking on the tile, you can redirect your users to a website or any other external link.
