About

The Featured Content module provides a means to highlight items of interest, with up to 4 items per Featured Content Content Module. Note that Featured Content Content Modules can be ‘stacked’ where there is a need to highlight more than 3 items of interest. Items can be purely informative, standalone items, with no link, or they can link internally or externally.
