This block is commonly used on cover pages but can enhance any article by spotlighting related content.
Adding the Featured Article Block
To add this block, go to the Add menu and find it under Navigation. You can place it on a cover page or within any article.
After adding the block, a prompt will appear, asking you to select the article(s) you'd like to feature.
Click directly on the block or the blue text to open the settings panel.
Selecting Articles
Click the +Add button to open a menu of selectable articles.
You can choose articles in Draft, Ready, or Published status. Only articles with published status will be visible in your live publication.
After selecting the article(s) you want to feature, click Save. The selected article(s) will appear in your chosen layout on the page.
Adding Multiple Articles in a Single Block
When you add multiple articles to a single Featured Article Block, the block will act as a slider. Readers can swipe or scroll through the block to view each featured article.
Adding Multiple Featured Article Blocks to an Article
You can add several Featured Article Blocks to an article, each with a unique layout or selection of articles. This is a great way to create a distinctive and visually engaging publication. Add Featured Article Blocks above or below your initial one to do this.
Selecting Layouts for Your Featured Articles
For each Featured Article Block, you can choose from various available layouts to display your featured content.
Default Layout
The default layout is the standard option with limited customization features. In this layout, you can choose to display or hide some aspects of the content as needed.
Design layouts in the Design Studio
Additional layout options can be fully customized in the Design Studio. Here, you can redesign and rename layouts to suit your publication's style. Changes made in the Design Studio will apply to all instances of the layout wherever it's used in your content. To modify these layouts, open Design Studio and select the layout you want to update.
Height & Overflow Settings
These settings apply only when multiple featured articles are added within a single block, causing the block to function as a slider. The Height and Overflow options control the slider's appearance and behavior.
Auto Height
When Auto Height is turned on, the slider will adapt to the height of each article or "slide" displayed. The default setting is off, which keeps the slider at a consistent height, providing a smoother scrolling experience in most cases.
Overflow Visible
By default, only the current article is fully displayed, and articles in adjacent slides are hidden. Turning Overflow Visible will reveal portions of the next and previous slides, which will appear with a faded effect.
