Create New Site Page not available within Site Page Library, only outside of it
On our SharePoint Groups standard setups using the modern experience, the Site Pages library does not provide the option of New Site Page when you click +New. It only offers Web part page or Wiki page...
Just to clarify, we are able to create Site Pages in all of our Groups. The issue is that we only have the option to do it outside of the Site Page Library. In the Site Pages Library, if you click +New the Site Page option isn't there, just a Web Part Page or Wiki page. If you navigate to our Home page and click +New the drop down does include Site Page. So we can create them from there. Just don't understand why we cannot also create them from the Site Page Library.
I have just checked a recently created Group site and when I go to the Site Pages library in the New menu I also have the "Site Page" option as expected...however I have also seen that in a Communication Site I don't even have the "New" option in the Site Pages library so it might happen Microsoft has rolled out an updated that has introduced this problem
