Can I create a "News Digest" email from posts just in the Hero Bar?

I can send out a news digest from posts under "news,' but I am not offered the same functionality for posts on the hero bar. Ideally I'd like to be able to select stories from the hero to include in ...

    rmsterling Unfortunately, this is not possible in SharePoint. You can only send the news posts in new digest.

     

    For more information check below links:

    1. Create and send a news digest 
    2. SharePoint Auto News Digest updates

rmsterling Yes. If you have permissions to edit the site page, you can make the changes as per your requirements.

 

You can add new section above hero web part section and drag news web part from below to this new section OR you can drag news section above hero web part inside existing section.

So I looked at the current Hero Bar, and it's created as a "news" section with 5 slots. There are always 5 stories in those slots. That said, I do not have the "see all" option available. Reading the tutorial says that if the # of stories is fewer than designated slots, "see all" might not appear.

Since that's not the case, what am I not understanding and why is see all not available?

    rmsterling Unfortunately, it seems that "Hub News" and "Tiles" layout does not support "see all" option in news web part.

      Thank you, sir. You've been incredibly helpful. I have tried to "like" all of your posts, but it seems I can't do that either. Sheesh.
