A side effect of this is that the visibility levels a given article may be created at is determined by the user's permissions and the selected feeds: for any given combination of feeds, the visibility levels available to the user are determined by the feed with the ''least posting permissions''. For example, a given user has permission to publish at all three visibility levels in the "Research" feed, but only "Medium" and "General" in the "General" feed (ie: the user can not set the "Important" level when publishing to the "General" feed). If the user only selects the "Research" feed then they can publish the article in that feed at any or all of the three visibility levels, but if the user selects both "Research" and "General", only the ""Medium" and "General" visibility levels will be available; "Important" will be disabled. | A side effect of this is that the visibility levels a given article may be created at is determined by the user's permissions and the selected feeds: for any given combination of feeds, the visibility levels available to the user are determined by the feed with the ''least posting permissions''.

Newsagent version 0.3 introduced the ability for authors to post individual articles in multiple feeds simultaneously. During composition or editing, users are given the option to select multiple feeds in the "Show in feed" dropdown: unlike a traditional single-option select dropdown, the "Show in feed" dropdown contains checkboxes for each option. Ticking a checkbox in the "Show in feed" dropdown indicates that the article will appear in that feed. At least one option must be ticked for article creation or editing to work, but there is no restriction on the maximum number of feeds any given article may appear in.
Multiple feeds and visibility levels
When creating to editing an article, the user must select one or more visibility levels for the article. When an article appears in more than one feed, it does not have different visibility levels for each feed: the article will appear at the same visibility levels in all the feeds it has been added to. So if an article is added to the feeds "General", "Research", and "Industry", and is given the visibility levels "Medium" and "General", it will appear in all three feeds at the two chosen visibility levels. It is not possible to create an article to two or more feeds and set different visibility levels for each feed.
A side effect of this is that the visibility levels a given article may be created at is determined by the user's permissions and the selected feeds: for any given combination of feeds, the visibility levels available to the user are determined by the feed with the least posting permissions. For example, a given user has permission to publish at all three visibility levels in the "Research" feed, but only "Medium" and "General" in the "General" feed (ie: the user can not set the "Important" level when publishing to the "General" feed). If the user only selects the "Research" feed then they can publish the article in that feed at any or all of the three visibility levels, but if the user selects both "Research" and "General", only the ""Medium" and "General" visibility levels will be available; "Important" will be disabled.

In most cases, users will have the same permissions on all feeds they have access to, so the restriction discussed here will only apply to a few isolated cases. |
