      Comms & Culture - Default Feed Specification

       v.1.19.0

      In manage mode in the communications module a user can create content to be displayed in their users' default feed or main news feed. Content can be created via the content wizard which takes the user through the content types or through a single page form. There is common functionality when creating all content types and most content types follow the same format of a blog style article with additions and differences when displayed to the user in Myself Mode.
