“Curated content” is a widget that enables a community admin to “[d]isplay a list of curated content, such as articles, tutorials and guides to help users find their answers quickly”. This widget can be activated on category pages.
The new “Custom pages” features enables us to create - well - custom pages. 😉
In general, it is quite hard to integrate custom pages into the community at the moment. Custom pages lie independently from the community hierarchy (as they should) and most widgets are only able to integrate community content that is located within the community hierarchy (i.e. within categories).
I therefore propose to also make it possible to include custom pages in the curated content widget, as it will enable community admins to present their users with direct links to custom pages that are relevant to the category they are currently looking at.
