# What is the news feature?

## An overview of the InsightHub news feature and core components.

The News feature is controlled via: **Back Room \> Community tools \> News**

The first page you see is the main news page that lists all the currently published news items, you can navigate to unpublished news items from this page too (either those that have been set up and never published, or those that have previously been published):
