I have a facility hub site that is a communication site. We have quite a number of permanent pages within the site that are related to various aspects of the facility and the business. We also are using a news web part on the main page. Is there a way to make the news web part automatically save any new created news posts (pages) to a separate folder than the site pages one? It is hard to maintain the library of pages when they are all mixed together. I'd like to be able to go to just a separate folder and easily look at the current news posts (pages) and delete without having to maneuver around the permanent pages that are part of the regular site.

JohnJDB select column settings -> show/hide columns then select the Promoted State column and click Apply, after which you can filter by the Promoted State value:

JohnJDB You will need to create the view from the "modern" experience in the Site Pages library. Open the Site Pages library view that shows Promoted State. Use the column to filter on Promoted State = 2 (and 1, which is are unpublished news posts). Then select Save As and call the view News.

Actually, you used the classic experience to edit the view by selecting Edit current view. You don't have to do that. Open Site Pages. Select the view that has Promoted State showing. Use the column in the view to filter for Promoted State = 2. Then, select Save As and give the view a new name. You do not have to click Edit the current view to create a view for this purpose. Note that you will need to be sure that you have some News pages created so that the filter will work.

kglashagel you can't add news posts to a separate folder but you can easily create a view of the SitePages library called News where the PromotedState = 2 (i.e. published news post). Then just select the News view when you need to. RobLos GallardosIntranet, SharePoint and Power Platform Manager (and classic 1967 Morris Traveller driver)

RobElliott Hi Rob, How do you get PromotedState? I can't see it listed in the Filter section? Cheers

kglashagel - alternatively, you could create a subsite for the sole purpose of sending newsletters, e.g. www.mysharepointsite.com/newsletters

Then all the newsletters are stored in pages under the subsite and you can still show them on your portal using the Newsletter webportal - roll-up news from the subsite.
