New web parts for your modern communications in SharePoint Online
You guys are absolutely killing it with the new web parts that have come out (on top of those mentioned above, the links web part was a nice surprise and the PowerBI web part fills a HUUUUGE gap).
We really need the ability to filter the Highlighted Content Web Part by list or library (or even folder for that matter). We all use Sharepoint so differently and many of us slice and dice data in different ways that we need as much flexibility in surfacing it as possible. Many times we just use lists or libraries as data dumps and then use it to surface data in some other way. That's the beauty of SP, the ability to be creative with it.

Thanks @Clint. Glad they're working out for you.
We have both of your suggestions (filter by list or libraries and by folder) tracked in our Highlighhted content backlog. Thank you.- Ivan54Feb 22, 2017Bronze Contributor
Hi John_Sanders,
can you comment on the current news headlines webpart, specifically if you plan to expand the properties to include news pages from subsites, or/and if you have different ideas, like global sharepoint news (identical to the News tab on iOS)?
