Highlighted Content web part - bug with filter on pages vs. news?
Thanks Jenny Bruce for your explanation regarding the property PromotedState. I was aware about this property. The downside of using this property is, that actually there is no difference between a draft page or a published page - both have the value "0".
I didn't found a solution to filter for published pages only in the highlighted content webpart. 😞
However I am still believing that there is a bug in the filter value of this webpart. May I have to challenge it with Microsoft Support.
Best Regards,
André
Hi AndreeS - further on RobElliott's note about the three values for promoted state. Don't forget that only site 'members' (i.e. people with editing permissions) can see draft pages.
If you're preparing something for your read only audience they won't see draft pages even if they are showing up in the web part for you (and site members). It will take a bit of educating your site members not to be alarmed about seeing draft pages in the web part, but once you get over that hurdle you should be okay.
