This is our second page of decent documentation, created right after Story Page Documentation. This sort of clickable image-overlay design, is something that would often take a good designer a day or two to make by hand. In our case, the Story Editor documentation page took a couple of hours, being generated almost entirely by AI and copy/pasted directly into our page editor. This page took 22 minutes to make. 22 minutes. It is basically the same as the first page, just using a different screenshot. All the HTML/CSS/Javascript was again generated entirely by chatGPT, which your designers can do just as easily. I spent the other 12 minutes touching up some of the positions and writing the copy myself.
I'll say it again, 22 minutes to create this page folks. No other CMS can do that. Not a single one.
In fact, chatGPT was so excited about the collaboration on this page, they wrote an article about it Unlocking a New Editorial UX!
Title
This is the display name of your category. It will appear anywhere this category is shown to users or referenced in feeds.
Feeds
This is a list of all outgoing "feeds" we have for this particular category. We can create more as you need them. We prefer JSON format, but we can do XML (RSS) as well if your third-party vendor has clear specifications. Here are some examples here that we have built for "mailChimp", Whiz (a quality app provider). There are also feeds listed here that are used internally in views. For example, the 'stacked' feed that is listed here will generate the stacked stories for use in any view on our site. We like to list these here because your designers will need them as a reference for internal use.
Content Class
Select a content class to group this category for advertising targetting or structural purposes, like News, Sports, Weather, etc.
New Stories Push to Top
This checkbox controls whether newly published stories will automatically appear at the top of the stack for this category. Left unchecked, it means that the "stack" will stay static, though new stories are still added to this category. The "stack" is a separate, priority list, that is associated with the category. It does not change the category itself or prevent stories from beign added or removed.
Summary
Provide a brief description of this category for internal reference or for long-form filtering and discovery tools.

Category Stack
The "Category Stack" is a separate, priority list of ordered stories, saved alongside the category. The category exists and it's stories are retrievable even if there is no "stack" at all. The "stack" can be accessed from separate data feeds, and used in any way your organization needs. The stack can be ordered manually, or if "New Stories Push to Top Of Stack" is TRUE, then any new story also goes to the top of the stack when it is published.
