Modern "News" Webpart - Filter options have disappeared
- Aug 13, 2019The filters are back, without any action from our side. It's unfortunately the 3 times in 5 months since our intranet is productive, that out-of-the-box functions are in trouble for several days without any official statement from Microsoft. Annoying! I would still rely on SP-OnPremise for highly critical services, since the transparence and the communication on the MS side concerning such bugs on SP-Online is for us not good enough.
Is there any way to be immediately informed for such trouble? The standard O365 Message Center didn't told anythings about those issues.
I observed with horror the same issue, no filter function anymore on our intranet. Maybe came the problem since we got the new audience feature. Unfortuntately, i don't have any third-party things to deactivate in order to get it quickly back. It's a huge problem since we manage the several type of news on the intranet startpage with those filters. Any clue to fix this?

Raphael Guisolan - Thanks! It appears the settings are back on my end as well. I agree, communication regarding these issues is lacking. Users are spending needless hours of troubleshooting when these issues arise---time that would not have been wasted if Microsoft had simply acknowledged the problem and confirmed that they were working on a solution. Very frustrating.

SophieSue Our filter options have not returned. Did anyone do anything special -- like bite the head off a chicken or sacrifice a geek? This will be really bad news to one of my user groups who specifically want this feature.
Ah, Microsoft Peek-a-Boo rides again.
- SophieSueAug 22, 2019Copper ContributorIt seems that our options reappeared as mysteriously as they originally vanished. No changes or tinkering occurred on this end. Go figure.
