Publish rich and interactive content with HTML pages in SharePoint
Love the functionality, but will we be able to disable the +New menu option?
- On any page of a site, “HTML page” as a new option in the +New menu in the command bar

If you disable HTML pages on your site, the "HTML page" option will not show in the +New menu. Please refer to the support documentation for more details on that setting in the site pages library.

I spent the last 4 hours manually disabling HTML Pages across all our sites, but I am concerned that the location Microsoft has chosen to store this setting is not appropriate. Site Owners will see it, toggle it back on, and I'll spend a lot of time going back and forth with them. Can we get it moved from the Site Pages library into Site Pages Library Settings? Is there a PowerShell script we can run to hide the UI? Or a script we can use to see if a site has toggled it back on? Please advise!

Unfortunately, even if you disable it across your tenant, users can still create HTML pages. All the setting does is hide the Create HTML page button. However, users can still upload HTML files to the Pages library or simply ask Copilot to create an HTML page and it will. Effectively, Microsoft have implemented something that is all smoke and mirrors - there is currently ZERO way to disable HTML pages.
