  • Choose the path to the archive template containing your news releases. You can select multiple paths or link directly to a specific page.
  • Set a limit for the number of stories to display (e.g. 10 max per page)
  • Offset - this is the number of stories you want to skip; useful if using multiple news lists on a single page
  • Results per page - the number of stories that display in your list (e.g. 5)
