Having news post displayed on several hub-associated sites in SharePoint
Hi, we're having the following question. We are currently rolling out our intranet with several subsites for our Teams all combined in a Hubsite. Let's say we have the team site "Sales" and the team...

RobElliott : I'm not sure if this is exactly what I want. Let's say I have a news item published in our HR Teamsite about maternity leave and would like this specific news item to also be published in our Finances Teamsite, but only this specific news item about maternity leave. I find no option of doing this. I would basically whish that the news item shows along with all the other news items published by and in the Financials Team(site). Is there a way of doing this or did I just get your explanation wrong?
Thank you so much for your help! Best regards,
Oliver

Oliver_Schneeberger one way to do this is to post a news link on your financial site, pointing to the HR post you want to emphasize. Its still a manual decision but at least you only have to write the news once
when you post a news link, it creates a local news page that redirects to the given link post
it sort of negates the beauty of posts automatically showing up where they are needed. But maybe in this case the financial site can have a separate ‘curated’ news web part so to speak that is manually driven by entries of links to news that might not be shown otherwise

Robin Nilsson Hi Robin, thanks for this! One question before I try it out? How about the permissions? By posting the news link will the financial team members have access to the HR team news post despite the fact that they are not a team member of the HR teamsite?
Looking forward to hear from you! Thanks a lot!

Oliver_Schneeberger thats the problem- linking to a news post in another site doesnt change any permissions. The original post has to be already accessible. Do you have an HR site that's readable by everyone? Make the post there, then you can link to ir from anywhere
as we are building out our intranet, I find I may need two sites. One that is the team site, accessible to just that team (they can post their internal news). Then a matching communication site that allows read by everyone, posting news that is more public
