Favorites Feature
Overview
The favorites feature allows your members to bookmark any content type across your app, including recipes, meal plans, resources, challenges, and blog posts. Members can easily toggle favorites using a heart icon and view all their favorites from a dedicated "My Favorites" page.

Enable/Disable Favorites: Control whether favorites are available for each content type.
Custom Heart Color: Set a specific color for the heart icon to match your branding.
How Members Use Favorites
Members can click the heart icon on content cards or detail pages to save items as favorites.
They can access their favorites from the avatar dropdown or directly via the "My Favorites" page.
Important Notes
Non-authenticated users will be redirected to log in when trying to favorite content.
Favorites are visible to all members unless restricted by access levels.
Lists Feature
Overview
The lists feature allows members to create and manage custom lists for organizing content. This enables them to create named collections like "Weeknight Dinners" or "Kids Favorites," enhancing their ability to curate content.
Admin Configuration
You can enable or disable the lists feature in App Station:
Enable/Disable Lists: Control whether members can create and manage lists.
How Members Use Lists
Members can create unlimited personal lists, each private by default.
They can add any content type to their lists, including recipes, meal plans, resources, challenges, and blog posts.
Lists can be accessed from the "My Stuff" page, where members can also manage their favorites.
Managing Lists
Members can rename or delete their lists directly from the "My Stuff" page. Deleting a list removes saved content from that list only; it does not delete the content itself.
Important Notes
Lists are private and only visible to the member who created them.
The My Stuff page integrates both favorites and lists, providing a seamless experience for content organization.
