Theodor Ammerind We just received a very welcome update on our SharePoint Online tenant. The news web part now lets you hide author, date published, and view count.

 

Been waiting for this functionality forever!

    Hi all, apart from the new possibilities on hiding information in the news webpart, what about hiding the author information in the news page you're getting when you click on "Show All"?

    Anyone was able to do that?
