    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.

I'am facing the same issue like Noel_Suarez. new created target release tennant here an a comms site. The column "Promoted State" is read-only in the quick edit mode so I can´t change the value. :-(

Try using a Grouped by Promoted State view and see if you can drag the article between groups. I have used that approach too and it worked. At least it did the last time I tried!

    I tried it, but it didnt worked. I found an other way - after publishing the page, i clicked on following option in the right bar.

      That also works to go from regular page to News. The reverse is where Promoted State editing helps.
