Hello! I have some questions related to the “News Article” and I would like to ask you.
I know that it is possible to go into each post individually and change the article type to “News Article”. However, I also noticed that in the “Titles and Meta” settings, it is possible to set the article type between “Article, Blogpost and NewsArticle”. If I change it to News Article, this means that the default article type of my posts will be set to “News Article” automatically, am I right?
I’m considering purchasing Rank Map Pro because of the News Site Map, and I’ve been watching some rank math videos to see how things work. I also noticed that in the News Site Map settings (of the videos you make available), when we select, for example, “posts”, all posts are automatically configured as “News Article”, so in a way, it’s almost the same thing We set the default for “News Article” articles in Title and Meta, right? So I can, for example, leave it configured as News Article in Titles and Meta, and still leave marked “posts” in the newsitemap so that it considers all posts as News Article anyway?
In short: can I set the rank math settings to news article in titles and meta, and also leave the posts option checked in the sitemap settings? I want to know why I’m afraid of redundancies.
What would happen, for example, if I left it marked in the titles and meta settings as “blogpost” or “articles”, while in the news sitemap settings I selected “posts”? Would the sitemap settings prevail and transform everything into a NewsArticle anyway?
I don’t know if you understand what I want to know with all this, but basically, I just want to avoid redundancies, because there seem to be different places where I can establish similar settings, which cause similar effects.
I need to know this information because I’m interested in purchasing the PRO version because of the sitemaps, but I realized that its settings can also transform everything into a news article.

Another question:
My website is about a computer game. It has news about the game, as well as tutorials, tips and reviews. Would there be any problem with Rank Math defining even my tutorials, tips and reviews as News Article? Or for these, should I just set it to “Article” individually in the post’s schema settings?

Thank you for your attention, and sorry for the long text, and for not being able to explain it so well.
