What is Value Added Content?
Value Added Content is unique, supplemental content that is automatically ingested into BLOX to provide readers with a wide-range of interesting topics that are relevant to most readers. Value Added Content is typically section-tagged to the /online_features section, but just like other assets, Value Added Content can be configured and tailored to appear exactly where you want readers to enjoy it.
