Communications Site "Promote Page" feature flaw
- Quick edit will only work in a “flat” view. Only the default All Pages view of Site Pages is flat, so be sure you are looking at a flat view. Or, in a grouped view that has items grouped by Promoted State, you should be able to select and drag items between groups. That will also “re-set” the Promoted State.
MicrosoftHello All,
Recently we observed that the moving the pages between the Promoted State grouping view was not working, but were able to find another workaround to fix the same.
Step1 :
Go to Site Pages and library and Change the view to “By Promoted State” which will show the Promoted State Column on the view.
If the view is not available then create one using the steps below once you are on the All Pages view.
select + Add column. Then, from that drop down, select Show/hide columns. You will now see Promoted State Column, select it and then be sure to save the view.
Step2: Left click on the Promoted State Colum and choose Column settings and then Edit.
Step3: On the Edit Column panel, go to Default Value Field and replace 0 with blank value and click Save.
Step4: Repeat Step 2 again and Update the Default Value Field back to the Value 0.
Step5 : Select the Page that you wanted to Un-Promote and go to the properties and Select Edit Item to Change the Promoted State Value to 0 (un-promote).
Outcome : The above page will no longer appear in the News Web part.
