Under Producer Standard Options->General Settings you have the setting “Magazine layout mode” with options static and widgets.  Static means that the content that will be displayed in columns for the layout you selected under  Producer Standard Options->General Settings->Magazine layout will be the post excerpts that get pulled from the specific category associated with that columns. In other words, whereas in widgets mode you can display posts from Featured Category 7 in any column you desire by dragging the widget for that category to a any of the Home Column widget spaces, in static mode, posts from Featured Category 7 can only appear where Featured Category 7 is coded in the layout.
