When you add the GSD News block to your page, you will be prompted to search for a news story that is published on the GSD site. Each block contains one news story, so if you’d like to include more then you will need to add additional blocks. Once you have selected a news story, use the Block Settings tab on the right to customize how it is presented. In the example above, two GSD News blocks have been placed in a two-column block. Each news story has different settings turned off.

Website editors can customize how news stories are presented using a range of settings.

This block uses information pulled in from the GSD website, so adjustments to news stories need to be updated through the GSD site. You can choose to show or hide what details appear.
