How to Demote News page from Team site and Remove it from Hub News Rollup
With SharePoint hub sites being live for some time now, a few questions have come up on how you can demote news or remove it from a News Webpart without deleting it, and or also remove it from a Hub ...
Same problem cannot demote - greyed out and read-only. Nightmare, now it appears only option is to delete the page.
The easiest workaround is to go back to the version closest to the time you promoted the page as a news:
Site content - Site pages - select the page to demote from News webpart - go to Version history and restore a version before promoting. You might need to re-edit the page because some of the changes between last saved and promotion might got lost.
