# Subject card

### Summary <a href="#subjectcardcomponent-summary" id="subjectcardcomponent-summary"></a>

The Subject card provides a way to help users get to information on a specific subject. It consists of a title, image and link.

This article shows you how to add a Subject card to a Manual list component.

Below you can see two Subject cards set to display as one per row (one with an image, one without).
