A select number of stories that you've added for your VAMC system will automatically be featured on the home page.  You can set stories to be featured here, and site visitors will be able to see all stories by navigating to the stories page.

The Stories page on your VAMC site

There are two content types in the CMS that contribute to the events page on your VAMC site: Story, and Stories List

The Stories List content type controls the page title, page introduction, and meta tags for the Stories page on your site. You probably won’t need to edit this information if your VAMC site is already set up. This content type will automatically display individual stories for your VAMC system. 

The Story content type lets you add and edit individual stories that will appear on the stories page. You’ll need to make sure you set the right story list for your VAMC when creating the story to ensure it shows up on your page.
