Source trail for the product-highlight boundary discussion:

- Reddit Help changelog, June 4, 2026: product names may be highlighted in conversations and open product deep dives with summaries, quotes, and, for catalog-backed products, image, price, and buying links.
- Same changelog: search trends in feed are being tested outside the US on iOS and Android in June 2026.
- Same changelog: video in comments and separate media/link settings are also moving, which makes moderator-control boundaries relevant.
- r/help discussion: users asked how author-added links differ from platform-added highlights, whether Automod can tell the difference, and whether sensitive communities are excluded.
- Reddit staff reply in that thread: product highlights are visually distinguished and are not direct external sale links; the team says sensitive communities should not surface the feature during the early test.

Useful future terms: inserted context, authored link, product highlight, deep dive, moderator rule boundary, source trail.
