​​All the news webparts display news articles from one central list under /pubnews/pages and will display based on parameters selected. The News Summary web part is a filtered diplay of what is shown in News Hub.

There is more details about each Web Part in the News Hub, News - Feed & Landing and News Summary pages in the left hand menu below this navigation.

4.       Fill out the article information:

    1. Authored By – you can publish on behalf of someone else
    2. Authored (Published) Date – if the Webparts are set to honour published dates, they will not show until this date is reached

4.       If you edit a category, it will change the category against all articles that have been tagged (e.g. change in department name).
