MicrosoftNew web parts for your modern communications in SharePoint Online
No if only they could add Search Parts, and pdate the Content Part to include Lists, we would almost be in a position to use Modern Sites.
MicrosoftScott Mckenzie - When you say "No if only they could add Search Parts", we have highlighted content today which is essentially the first iteration of content by search / content by query (CBx) for modern pages, using the SharePOint Framework (SPFx).
We do have on the backlog for it to also support filtering by content in a partiuclar list.
I understand it doesn't do all the myriad of things you could with the previous CBx web parts on classic pages. Do you have a PRI list of things you want after lists?
Thanks
John it is more the requirement to see content by Custom List Type. Although you have content by Issue / Task etc, these are not Modern List friendly at the moment and, I don't want users flopping between the different views on Modern / Old.
We make extensive use of Custom Lists and this would be of particular use. Also, If there could be some way of seeing CDM Content within that web part as well, that would also be very useful as, we are starting to transition some of our content from lists into CDM and using Flow and PowerApps.

Scott Mckenzie - Thanks for the clarification. Can you expand on what you'd want to see related to common data
modelservice (CDM) content? Is it only using Flow & PowerApps, or data layer access?If you imaging a Flow or PowerApp webpart (since we have them in our backlog as ideas); what would you expect it to do?
John_Sanders the Common Data Service Data Layer would be the useful part. We have already started using PowerApps and Flow to recreate a new CRM System in house. We do not want to give access to multiple users therefore, the Data Layer exposed within the Content Query whereby we could display latest entries to the app would be ideal.
We were trying to utilize PowerBI to show the CDM however, the service has not reached Canada as yet like so many other O365 offerings / updates.
- Highlighted content doesn't match the functionality necessary to have display templates and content from across multiple site collections. We've got content tagged all over the place that can be correlated and shown on specific team sites.
It's ok maybe to replace content search, but not the full fledged search results web part
