The News Page Type is available to add notifications to your website similar to a news bulletin board. A summary of the articles displays on the News page, and when the link is clicked, the entire News Item will show. A unique feature for a News item is the option to specify dates of when the information should be available or removed from the website. This means that items can be created ahead of time and will display and also be removed from the page on the dates indicated. Another feature that the News document type has is the ability to set up an RSS feed.

This section will cover how to create, edit, and organize a News page using the News document type. The RSS Feed will be discussed at the end once the News document has been created.
