Top Stories
Description
The Top Stories Navigation Object goes to the specified Section, and creates a menu of links of the top content items found in that Section. Where the Link directly to fulltext option is selected, then all links are to the full details page of the content, where it exists; otherwise the links are to the Section containing the content. This may be used to display most recent news on a home page. Where the layout of the content from this Navigation Object is too limited, consider using the Top content Navigation Object instead.
