Modern Pages - Highlighted Content - empty with Card Layout
I have the same issue with card and list layout. My highlighted content Web part is set up to emulate the activity Web part where recent content is the target with "any" used as the content filter scoped to the site. The activity Web part behaves as expected, but the highlighted content continues to fail no matter the search criteria (e.g. recently added, created by [Me], PowerPoint, title contains, etc.).
I just watched a https://youtu.be/T-PKNKlzh9c?t=1830post by Laura Rogers and this Web part seemed to work just fine for her.
How do we find out whether Microsoft is aware of this potential issue?

Thanks for reporting an issue. I'm the PM responsible for Highlighted content.
I'm not aware of an issue with the card view, e.g. switching from card -> list -> card layout causing any issues. If you can get me some screenshots of the property pane + layout showing your configuration, I'd be very interested in it. You can post them here, or if too sensitve, email me.
In all cases of results returning zero, I'm of course assuming documents, pages, events, issues, etc. (e.g. whatever you've set to filter already exists in the site(s) in question).
While we do have a few very specific bugs on managed property filtering, overall I'm unaware of any simple scenarios HC should support, not yet working.
Unfortunately, we don't yet support tokens (e.g. [me], [today], etc.), but that is in our backlog for the future.
Please give me specifics; we'll try to repro, file a bug, and get it fixed.
- SchneikaJun 30, 2017Iron ContributorHi, World it ne possible to use a dynamic token like a page field value?

Schneika - We don't yet support tokens in Highlighted content. This is however in our backlog.
Based on earlier analysis it looks like the most common tokens are related to the user, e.g. [me], or the date e.g. [today] or some offset of date.
Are there other specific tokens you're interested in (you mentioned a page field value), such as?
Thanks,
John

Hi John_Sanders. Thank you for the response. Screen shots are included.
I have first release in our tenant and I am the only one adding content to this site as proof-of-concept test site to demonstrate to other users how the highlighted content Web part works.
The HighlightedWebPart image shows my Most Recent highlighted content Web part just above the Activity Web part. The activity Web part shows the csv that I just uploaded today, but this csv is not listed in the highlighted content Web part.

Steven Sanders - I believe the issue you were experiencing was related to private group documents. Highlighted content has been updated to show these documents correctly now.
Can you let me know if you're still seeing any issues?

I just noticed that for me it's also blank.
Logged in as me, everything shows well. But when logged in with an other user, the content is actually not showing.
Please see attached the screenshots.

Can you share the configuration you have in Highlighted content? If that same user (that sees HC as blank) goes to the library containing the things shown in HC, can they see them directly?
HC uses search on the backend (in the future it will also support query), but search is security trimmed...so I'm just trying to make sure the other user is able to see the docs directly. Thanks!
