Sector 10 is coming!
We are updating our documentation library to be ready for the Sector 10 release in the second half of 2023! Find out more in our Sector 10 roadmap.
Sector News is based on the Drupal default Article content type. Sector News provides an easy starting point for current news content and includes automated lists and archives, as well as both promotional and contextual blocks on the homepage and in the sidebar.
Regular news keeps your site alive and gives you something to push to your social media or email marketing channels. The Sector News components and configuration make it easy to get started.
