Header area for Modern Pages
Is there an official post covering the excessive white space in header area. We just started using modern pages across some sites (where the majority are still using pre-defined templates via a governed provisioning process), and users are not happy about this extra white space (complaining about having to scroll unnecessarily). In effect, it's now tagged as a productivity issue, and as a result, we are relunctant to move forward with it.
Seems the white space isn't as priminat on the mobile experience, which is great. Wondering why the UI/UX team chose to do this.
Bottom line. How do we get this fixed?
This is a HUGE issue for us too. Users will not want to move to the modern page as it is.
On the video "An overview of SharePoint communiction sites", they show the new Page authoring updates, including the ability to set a header page with a focus point. Looks pretty slick!
This seems perfect and awesome, until you realise you need to repeat this action for every single page. So if you want to change or remove the header for existing pages, you'll need to edit them all. And for new pages you'll need to make the same change over and over again. So the idea was nice, but the outcome is not very practical (yet).
I have seen hundreds of presentations from MS staff since I started working with SPS 2003, and I have do not recall seeing anything from anyone who represented the UI/UX team (:.
I get the impression that SP UI is designed by devs who dabble in UX.
