Comms & Culture - Custom Feeds Specification

v.1.18.0

Custom Feeds are a way of personalising the way the content is distributed to your users so that it can be categorised and grouped in a more engaging way. It allows you to set different types of permissions for each feed and the channels within it so that you can give access to users to contribute to some feeds but keep others controlled by management or specific users. Custom feeds and their channels also use their own configurable default settings, so that they can be used for different purposes.
