Featured article page block
What's new
Page layouts accept a new block, FeaturedArticleBlock, which pins one article to a spot on the page. Point it at a single page with article_id, or hand it a collection_id and a rotation_period in seconds and it cycles through that collection on its own. hide_date drops the publication date from the card.
The block also joins the page_block union on AddPageBlockNode, so a page's graph_rules can insert one for a targeted audience.
Impact
This is the pages counterpart of FeaturedNewsBlock, which only ever took a fixed news_id. A featured slot can now be filled from a collection and rotate without anyone editing the layout.

Upgrade

layout.blocksand in a parent page's layout.
