Diagnosing Issues
If our backend throws an error when trying to save a sub-section for a feed, please run your XML feed through the Feed Validation Service at https://validator.w3.org/feed/
If this tool reports any errors, you will need to fix them. Errors will prevent your content from updating in the app.
