Featured Content is an optional space in the Issues view of your app where you can promote a particular piece of content or a subscription package. Featured Content sits below the Banner area and above the Filter Bar. In the Featured Content area, a carousel is displayed that shows large preview images, a title, space for descriptive text, and buttons to buy/download the content or buy a subscription.
Featured Content is a live feature, which means it can be changed without requiring you to build and submit a new app.
Featured Content is set in the Apps tab of the mag+ Publish Portal and can be set to:
- None
- The latest mag+ Issue
- A specific mag+ Issue
- A specific In-App Subscription

How to Set Featured Content
1. Login to the mag+ Publish Portal .

Important Information About Specific Subscriptions
- If a user purchases the Subscription, the Featured Content space disappears for that user. If you change the Featured Content to something else (another Subscription or another mag+ Issue), the Featured Content space will reappear for that user.
- You can choose to include or exclude Issues from a Subscription. For more information, refer to the article "In-app Subscriptions — Including or Excluding Content."
