how to pull in content from elsewhere (ie. a news page... what other options are there?) navigation

To add a web page using the Topic page content type
...
- Title
Page title, without any branding (such as your site name). 70 character limit. - Meta description
The meta description is not displayed anywhere on the page. It is not visible to visitors on the page. It is strictly used for search results (search engine optimization or SEO) so it should - in 160 characters or less - contain information that would make this page findable during a search. If you're not sure what to include in a meta description, try looking at other pages in this department/school or talk to your Marketing Specialist. - Is this a school page?
Check this box only if this is a school page. If you check this box, this is what happens ??? - News topic
There is a lot of news on the site and every news story is a web page of type "News story". You can pull in news content from the news collection by selecting the topic here. If you are creating a page on the subject of financial aid, for example, you would choose the News topic of "Financial Aid" from the drop-down list. Then, when you save the page and look at it as a customer would, you will see that relevant news articles are displayed automatically. This is a great way to enhance your page using content that exists elsewhere already. If there are no news categories relevant to the topic of your page, leave "None" selected. Under the grey heading bar called "Topic content", you will choose which components you want to be included on this page. If you're not sure which components you want, please refer to the list of component types. You can remove content types if you no longer want them but you cannot change a content type once it's there.
For example, if you choose 'Add text block', add your text and save but later decide you would prefer an image as well, you cannot change that type to a 'Text and Media block'. If you no longer want the Text bock, you must delete it and add a Text and media block instead if you wish to corporate a photo. Hint: if you need to do this, we suggest that you copy the content from the Text block, add the Text and media block, copy the text in, add a photo and then go back to delete the Text block, to save typing it all again.
This is the body of your webpage and where you will spend most of your time while editing.
Please visit the Types of components page for specific details about adding each component, including specific information about each type.Faculty by program area
You can pull in faculty biographies from the collection by choosing a program area from the drop-down list. If you are creating a page for the Leadership and Executive Education area, for example, you would choose "Leadership and Executive Education" from the drop-down list. Then, when you save the page and look at it as a customer would, you will see faculty bios for faculty in this school. If you do not wish to include bios, leave "None" selected.- Before moving on to the Bottom topic content, let's look at the options on the upper right of the screen, starting with Colour scheme.
Choose the name of your school or department from the drop-down list, if appropriate. This will ensure that the new page is colour coordinated with your existing pages. If your department is not listed, you can leave "Default" selected. - Revision log message
Leave a comment to explain what changes you made. This will be helpful if your page needs to go to an approver before being publishedto a publisher to be published or for another editor in your department who may need to work on this page with you. - Menu settings
Click the option to provide a menu link if you... ??? Moving down to Bottom topic content
In the bottom topic content section, you can add one or more 'call to action' buttons and/or images. These are meant to inspire the reader to click on them to DO something, such as "Call us" or "Read more".
