Roadmap question - 21047 "SharePoint News Digest Email"

Has anyone else heard anything more about this?  Not much news since the announcement by Mark-Kashman last fall.  The roadmap says it was to be released last quarter (Q4 2017), but it isn't even at T...

I am seeing the feature now in our tenant but my account is marked in First Release (the entire org is not in first release).  Others in the org do not see this feature yet.  Progress, though!  Thanks!

 

I did a simple test and it worked almost as expected.  The email did not have the images.  The image placeholders gave the error "The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location." 

 

The image still exists in the original location and is unchanged.  The link in the email to the compiled News Digest page is correct and the images are on that page. Not sure if this is a result of the feature not being fully deployed in our tenant for us, or if it has to do with just my account being one of of the few in first release in our tenant. 

 

Thanks for the continued work!  Hope these last few issues get worked out.

    Same thing happened to me.  There are only two of us on first release in my tenant.  I was so excited to see the magic button, but got the same email issue you describe.  I'm still hopeful it will be worked out soon though.

    This was a regression that should be fixed now.

    Where is the magical "button" you all talk of?

    The button is available in my tenant.

    • The image in the e-mail is not being displayed . Not in Outlook 2016 proplus, nor Outlook online
    • Can't seem to mail to dynamic distribution groups
    • I expected that every newspost would have it's own image and description in the e-mail directly. so users could click and go to a specific newspost straight from the e-mail

    Just to let you know MattVarney that the images did arrive in the emails for me. My tenant is in First Release, Whole Org. Hopefully just teething issues. Glad it’s here, onwards...
