On your media hub page, there are two sections that showcase certain media posts: 'Featured' and 'Must Read'. These sections appear on your media hub page and can also show on your homepage and category pages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These options can be used to control which content appears in these sections by using one or both tick boxes;

 

Sticky - Ticking this box makes your item 'stick' in the must-read section, which is the ideal option if you want to keep some media items in view for the reader for longer periods of time.

 

Featured - Ticking this box makes your item appear in the featured section, an ideal option for the new hot content on the website for a shorter period of time when new featured content is published.

 

You can tick these boxes for as many pieces of content as you would like; the sections will always work in date order, showing the newest two items marked as sticky and five items as featured. You can also untick either of these boxes at any point to remove a piece of content from these sections. You can also tick both boxes for a piece of content; however, that will make your content appear twice in a small space, so it is much better to choose different items for each where you can.

 

If there is no content marked as either sticky or featured, this section will simply be hidden on your media hub until there is content to display there.
