The Post Prominence Module allows you to control whether an article should appear in one of several featured locations throughout the website.

Our system allows articles to be featured in a variety of locations, depending on selections made in the Post Prominence module, on the Edit Post page.

By default, the system selects the most recent featured content to display in the featured locations.

These locations are detailed below:
