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).
- It would be good if the default was no grey banner.
I fear you may need to go through all pages, once this comes out of first release and remove them all one by one though.
Interesting that this was deployed with no option to customize it. That header screams customize me! I was thinking that I was missing something obvious before a search brought me here. Good to see that the communication site pages have the ability to do so - I would imagine that means that the ability is coming to team site pages as well - though it would be great to know when!
I just had a look at the new pages on the new communication sites and you can removed the image ( the X ). That makes this area a lot smaller
So this must be something that is on its way.
