In many Aurora communities, people who are not admins and therefore have no access to Designer may need to edit featured content and featured places on a particular page. With the Edit items in list widgets permission enabled for their associated role, a member can go right to the page where they want to add featured items and add content, places, or idea statuses using the Edit Featured Content, Edit Featured Places, Edit Featured Idea Statuses, or Edit Featured Guides button. By default, community members with the Group Owner or Group Curator role are granted the Edit items in list widgets permission.

An admin must have first added the widget from Designer on a particular page template. From then on, members with the appropriate permissions can edit the featured items as desired at any time on the pages tied to that template.

When admins add the widget in Designer, they can preview how it will look within the community using sample content. Because some pages in your community may benefit from different featured content, places, or idea statuses, the sample content added in Designer is not published to the community. You must go to the page in the community where you want to feature content, places, idea statuses, or guides and add them there. Featured content is decided on each individual instance of the widget.

Note: Currently, there is no way to draw featured content, places, or idea statuses from a global source. Be sure to update the featured widget on every page where you place it.

If you reset the layout of a page with a populated Featured widget or delete a section containing a populated Featured widget, that Featured widget is deleted from all other page templates on which it appears. If you attempt to reset or delete, you will receive a warning that also indicates all other places where the widget is located.
