Other Tips
1. There is no limit to the number of contacts added in one Media Contacts component.
2. Each agency is advised to use their own Media Contacts component, so as not to reference each other's.
3. Contacts can be removed from the Media Contacts XF. In the XF edit mode, open the authoring dialog. Select the trash icon next to the Person CF who should be removed. Changes will reflect across all of your agency’s Agency News Article templates.
