Can we control the columns shown inside "highlighted content" web part
I am working on a classic team site inside sharepoint online tenant. and inside one of the modern pages i added the "Highlighted content" web part, to show pages from our enterprise wiki site. here i...
Nope. Only way to accomplish this would be create your own SPFx webpart. There is already one out there that seems to have a pretty good toolset similar to old Content Query webpart here that might be worth a look: https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-fx-webparts/tree/master/samples/react-content-query-webpart

ChrisWebbTechthanks for the reply. now as a general rule i always avoid using open source projects. as these projects might not work in the future for a reason or another.. so what do you think ? should i go on an try this react-content-query-webpart?
- I've had good luck with one for a long while now. Of course it's hit or miss, if it's mission critical then you probably should write your own, but again it is open source so you can always fix it yourself should something change or break :P.

- I would, but again it depends on how critical the webpart is, even MIcrosoft webparts break from time to time :P. They have been pretty good about keeping existing webparts working. I wouldn't use it 100's of places around my intranet, but if it's something I'm only going to use in a few places to solve a problem then I see no problem with doing so.
