Feature

Spotlight special content

A feature chunk may be used for spotlighting content of special interest to the reader such as student profiles. A feature is similar to a panel, but includes an image.

Features are made up of a headline, a subhead, a text area, an image, and a link to an internal page, an exterior site, or an asset.
