This would be great! We currently maintain an "Everything but the Kitchen Sink" category for this, it's quite a pain to remember when we add new categories.

@Angela Gaida, I like the way it works in news digest, and this is exactly what I would need for news sections. Do you have anythink like this on your roadmap?

I have also had situations where exclude functionality would be nice

I merged the other post here, because the solution for the one will also solve the other.

I like that one, @Constance. In fact, we already tried out a completely different way to select the sources for a news feed or Cover Stories that allows what you are asking for, as well as any other combination one might think of. You can see this in action in our App Linchpin News Digest. I'm attaching a screenshot for a quite complex configuration.

We are planning to offer something like that in our news macros as well, if we receive positive feedback or constructive criticism on how to make it even more intuitive. Maybe you'd like to try it out?

You'll find the Linchpin News Digest on the Atlassian Marketplace: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1220371

And the documentation to this new way of defining news sources is here, under the headline "Deciding on content: Which news or blog posts do you want to include?" https://info.seibert-media.net/display/DOC/Linchpin+News+Digest+-+Administration+Guide+-+Release+1.0.1
