MicrosoftNew web parts for your modern communications in SharePoint Online
Probably not the first web parts my users have been asking for, but it's definitely nice to see some progress.
BTW - is there a documented way to get one of these new Modern Pages to be the home page for a Team Site where a web part or wiki page is the current default? The "make homepage" ribbon control doesn't show up on Modern Pages.
- John_Sanders@Kevin you can use the ... on the "new homepage" from the Site Pages library, assuming you have the correct permissions. The user needs "Manage Web Permissions".
On most of my sites, I have permission and can pick a new page and make it the homepage... but on one of our test sites, I don't see that option in the library. I don't have the right permissions.Thanks all for the replies.
This missing piece for us as of this moment is that we still have Classic set as the default experience (this will be changing soon), so we don't see the "..." control that was referenced because our Site Pages libraries are still in Classic mode. I guess we could enable modern in each particular library today, though as I said we'll be flipping the master switch soon.
Known and the team is working on it. FYI, Jeremy Kelley (SHAREPOINT)
- I call out how in my initial post about modern site from SP home; Check it ☺ : "Create connected SharePoint Online team sites in seconds" [11/7/2016]: https://blogs.office.com/2016/11/08/create-connected-sharepoint-online-team-sites-in-seconds/
- Not documented, but you have to go to the actual library of pages to set it as homepage, instead of doing it when you are actually on the page. (Its talked about somewhere in this community, but heaven help me if I can find it again...)
