The Resources web part enables organizations to display a centrally managed set of links across SharePoint pages. It brings the Resources capability from the erstwhile Viva Connections into SharePoint, allowing consistent reuse of links within a site. 

Unlike page-specific link collections, the Resources web part references content stored separately from the page, so updates are reflected everywhere the web part is used.
