Featured products options
Once featured products are enabled, additional options will appear so you can control which products are displayed and how they’re presented.
The same options are available for the Home and Products pages. Each page can be configured independently, allowing you to feature different products in each location.
Here are the available options:

Choose whether to hide products a member already owns from the Featured section. Turn this setting on to focus the section on products they don’t have access to yet.
If you turn this setting off, the Featured section may include products the member already owns.

Set a Title for the Featured section of your Home and/or Product pages.

You can pick from different available options such as:
All products: Displays all products in the Featured section.
You can select additional options such as "Recently published", "Recently updated" and "Random order" as well as how many you'd like to display.
Specific products (up to 5): Manually select the products you want to feature in the featured area.
Specific types: Select specific types of products to display (e.g. only courses, only downloads, etc.)
Specific categories: Select specific product categories to display in the Featured area.
Each option includes additional settings. For example, if you select Specific products, you’ll need to choose the products you want to display.
Depending on the option selected, you can also control the order of the featured products and how many appear.
