Space News allows you to share structured updates within a space, ensuring important information remains visible and easily accessible to all members. Unlike activity posts, news articles are **formatted, persistent, and designed for structured communication**.

📌 *Example: A product team announces a new feature update, ensuring all marketing and support teams stay informed.*

### Where to Find Your Published Article

Once your article is published, it will be visible in different locations based on the publication options selected:

* **Activity Feed:** If the **Post in Feed** option was enabled, the article appears in the Activity Stream with an embedded preview, notifying space members.
