News Settings

To set up your News page's settings, navigate to the 'News' node in your left-hand tree menu under the 'Content' tab in the Govstack back office. Under the 'Settings' tab in your News node, you have the option to configure and set up many different aspects of your News page (the page that lists all your created news posts).

You can also set up these same settings for each News category you create, as each category will have its own listing page.
