News on SharePoint Home is rolling out!
Is Company News and Organizational news still in the works? Our leadership is hoping for a way to publish news to all our employees. https://youtu.be/mjhFCMn_8O4?t=2965
Any updates on the implementation of organizational news?
As you might know, we recently shipped Communication sites. Communication sites have a different permissioning model and default UX than team sites and are better suited for cases when a small group of people want to communicate out and showcase their work to a larger audience. News is available as part of comm sites and this is the first step in enabling authoritative news scenarios.
We are currently working on additional features to improve the authoritative news scenario, such as approvals and categorization.
Is there a specific set of capabilities that you have in mind as required for organizational news?
- Thank you for your quick response, Alina, I have not worked in Comm Sites yet, but will experiment very soon! Our requirement is exactly as Eric Davis posted back on 3/14/17 "authoritative news" in which items like Policies & Procedures and other company information can be shared with all employees.
Yes, we are working on authoritative news, but I can't share any more details at this time.
I assume the decision to go with Team News vs Publishing News (or even authoritative) is due to the fact that Modern Publishing Pages aren't out yet?
My clients are definitely more in the boat of authoritative news vs team news. The reality is a lot of teams/departments aren't really going to have time to curate this content.
JaredMatfess we are definitly aware of the need that customers have for authorotative news and it's on the roadmap. Team news were shipped as part of the modern team sites and personalized aggregated news on SP home helps users to consume news in a single place. We definitly plan to have other types of news show up on SP Home once those are available.
