SharePoint pages and image editing updates in Office 365

We'd also be interested in disabling the Create News link on SharePoint home, and to either remove or reposition the News section on SP home.

I think Communications Sites are really well done, and I think it's a great service offering. But, in our company we have another platform for the Comms Sites use case, and having them around only complicates our end-users to understand and comprehend what SharePoint is and what it supposed to be used for. We want people to create O365 Group connected sites, but sometimes they click on the wrong thing in the Create Site panel (the "Team Site" nomenclature (for creating an O365 Group connected site) is also confusing because these sites aren't the "Classic" Team Sites that we've used for many years -- people know that "Team Sites" aren't O365 Group Connected.  "Group Sites" would be a so much more beneficial term for these sites.
