Re: 5.0: cannot add News

As you mentionned it, Categories Management is only in the Commercial 
Editions of Jahia (reasony why this is greyed-out... Ideally we would 
need to only displayed the available option according to the current 
Edition in the Admin Center but we encountered some HTML/CSS issues 
and had not the time to do it... Perhaps in a future release).

However the News box can perfectly be use. Just add a new pahe of 
type News. Enter your news there. Then add a box of type News on 
another web page. You shoud see your news in the box. This allows you 
to directly reuse your news on several web pages.

In the Commercial Edition, you can categorize each one of your news. 
Then you can also categorize the box of news on a certain page. This 
will filter and only display the news which belong to this category. 
So on the News Archive Paghe, you will have all the news and on the 
other pages you will only have a restricted set of news (eg.. only 
the news which belong to the "marketing" category or to the "Pr" 
category, etc...)
