News webpart (communication site) configuration question
Am not sure that the News webpart is functioning as designed.... basing my comments on https://support.office.com/en-us/article/use-the-news-web-part-on-a-sharepoint-page-c2dcee50-f5d7-434b-8cb9-a7feefd9f165?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US on how it should work:
When you go to configure the news web part on a communication site, the "Organization" section isn't anywhere. The "Filter" section is only displayed when selecting the news source "'This site". Filters of course are really needed when potentially pulling a ton of news items in a hub.... or from across the tennant.
Any constructive suggestion on what to do would be most welcome!

- Unfortunately you can only use filters on individual sites. Ideally some form of Content Type that is org wide that can be filtered from would be ideal, or if you have matching columns across those sites news, but currently it's just not there yet. It's been a topic of discussion and hopefully can have something around filtering across a hub can be accomplished at some point.
Many thanks. I'll raise this as a development topic in uservoice. Over 70 000 people use SP in the organisation, so it is an important point for us
