News Web Part - filter by Managed Metadata
Hi Dean_Gross
I have exactly the same issue.
As a news manager/page owner I need to be able to add multiple items as filters specifying X and Y as well as X or Y categories. So that I can show the news I want on my page.
It took me a while to figure out that to see if my filter had worked I had to click the "Apply" button (different functionality to other modern webpart filter settings).

Thank you.
I'm not very sure how to answer your question but I think, there may be a difference between the Library Columns and the ContentType columns.
The library has the Category column , but the ContentType for your files doesn't know about that column so you'll need to alter the ContentType to show the new column in your library.
I'd suggest you do some reading before just changing things. Generally you don't want to change the "Site Page" content type, but make a Child content type e.g. VincentsSitePage with the "Site Page" as it's parent.
Then add your Category column to VicentsSitePage, then change all your pages over to VicentsSitePage content type, and make it the default for the library.
Then when you view the properties of a page it will show the columns related to it's content type (which is now VincentsSitePage) , which contains Category.
Sorry this is getting into more advanced SharePoint admin tasks.
