What is the purpose of the article editor?
Article editor allows people to create and edit text or multimedia content on their website, including news articles, web page content, podcast, videos, etc.
What does an article list do and how does it work?
An article list creates a list to and from which users can add and remove articles, rather than a list of articles automatically populated by a certain criteria (as is the default case). In other words, it allows you to make a specific list of articles that you want to publish instead of publishing the whole article pool. Furthermore, you will be able to edit exactly which articles are on that list and in what order, rather then it being determined automatically.
