Micro content has a relationship with regular Flare snippets in a few ways.

Featured Snippets
Micro content that is created in a Flare project can result in custom "featured snippets" in your HTML5 output’s search results. This content is displayed above the search results, and is one of the easiest, most immediate methods to use micro content from Flare. You can use a filter to specifically determine which micro content might display as featured snippets. You can also change its view mode (Plain Text, Truncated, or Drop-Down) in your HTML5 skin.
Even though "featured snippet" is a phrase used to describe this one type of micro content, it is not the same as a Flare snippet. The word "snippet"—when talking about featured snippets—was adopted from Google and is just a coincidence.
As with some of the rich objects that you see on a Google search page, the featured snippets in Flare output appear above regular search results, thus making them especially valuable. In other words, you can always ensure that this targeted information is seen before anything else, rather than buried among the rest of the results.

Linking to Regular Snippets
When creating micro content, one of the methods you can use is to link a phrase to a regular Flare snippet in the project.
See Response Method 2: Linking Phrases to Entire Topics or Snippets.
Inserting Regular Snippets
Another way to create a micro content response is to enter content directly in the Micro Content Editor. This can include inserting regular Flare snippets in the editor, just as you would in a normal topic.
