Change News Page to Site Page
Ok, I finally got this to work without Using flow. Do the following.
1.Go to Site Pages on your Site.
2.Change your view to "All Items"
3.Now Click the + to add a column to view, and select Show/Hide Columns
4.Check Promoted State column and click "Apply" at the top.
5.Now Click the view drop down and Save view as
6.Name it "All Items and State"
7.Now you should be able to click "Quick Edit" and then Promoted State column will be exposed to change the value. Change the page you no longer want to be news from 2 to 0 and Click exit and your page can now be a Site page again.
Are you site collection admin on that site?
Yes, I created the site and am the admin.
Is the column maybe marked as read only in the content type somehow for the Site pages library in that site?
Not as far as I can tell. I did look, but since I'm just a newbie as far as Sharepoint is concerned, I might have missed something.
I wish this was more exposed since I would rather have a normal user with author roles not have to go through all of these steps to demote a news item to a regular site page.

Thanks for trying to help this Drupal guy as I try to get up to speed on Sharepoint! I'll keep reading up to see if this is the best approach for our site.
- Agree, it should be built in.
