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

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:

    Hi Rob_Elliott 

     

    I've done that

    but whilst I can see the Promoted state in the filter view, I can't add it when editing the view and adding it to the filter as the field doesnt show.

      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 Use the column to filter on Promoted State = 2 (and 1, which is are unpublished news posts).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.

        I thought I did that but I cant see the Promoted State, so had to use a workaround by creating a calulated field as shown in the youtube video.

        How could I check that I've creating the view from the "modern" experience in the site pages library?

        I do note that when I look at the view it says "This view uses classic filters that you can view and edit here". I just clicked on the top right view menu and selected "Create new view".

        THanks!
