Help Needed Removing (Demoting, Un-promoting) News Items
Hello, I have recently added a news web part on a modern page in SharePoint Online (Page A). It will display my department's Announcements. A separate subsite (Site B) was created to store...
You have to edit the default view, save it over itself, refresh the page, then use quick edit before you can change promoted state. At least it still works for me. Someone posted awhile back some issues with this, and if you are infact using subsites for these it could be that. Try what I said, then try to add a news article to the parent site and see if you can demote there using the method as well to rule out subsite issue.
ChrisWebbTech I just tried adding the column (Promoted State) to the default view of All Pages. I saved it over itself but even in quick edit (after refreshing) I was unable to edit the field. This is a Subsite. What impact might that have?
- A lot. Subsites are not recommended anymore you’ll run into odd issues like this. Hub sites are the recommended approach.
I’d try it on a root comm site and see if you can edit that.
