There is a field for Video Embed Code where the embed code from sites such as YouTube or Vimeo (and many others) can be pasted in order to attach a video that will display on the article.
The Body field is where you will type your content. Many different formatting options are available, including adding images into the body content.
The Audience field allow article content to be categorized for Adults, Teens, and Kids. The consequence of categorizing articles for Teens and/or Kids is that those articles will appear at the bottom of the landing pages for those sections of the site.
Tags can be used on articles to group content under keywords and make related articles easier to find.
To the right of the above fields, is the Authoring Info and Promotion Options. At the bottom of the node, the Authoring information tab allows content editors to change the author, date and time of the content. For articles, the author's username is displayed along with the creation date at the top of the article under the title. This way you can be sure the correct author is represented. In the Promotion Options, you can promote the article to the front page or make sticky at the top of lists.
