Reusable Quick Links
I have created a quick links like below image:
I want to use this Quick link components in all other modern pages. Previously we had Promoted link webparts which we can add in any pages across site collection. How to acheive this in modern experience.

- I agree this would be very helpful to have reusable components. I created a site for our HR department and on the right rail they want the same quick links and feedback graphic and then one button changes and I have to go in and change 100+ pages. I tried the suggested embed of a page with just the links, but that didn't work for me (it forced me to hover before it 'activated' then shows a SharePoint bar at the top of the section).
ddoty - OOOH! I remember having that problem - here's my iframe code - it's the "env=WebView" that fixes that, I believe.
<iframe src="//COMPANY.sharepoint.com/sites/SITE/SitePages/Department-Manuals.aspx?env=WebView" style="border:0px #ffffff none;" name="myiFrame" scrolling="no" frameborder="1" marginheight="0px" marginwidth="0px" height="50x" width="200px" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>ETA: I keep this code in a notepad file on my desktop so when I need to add it, it's a quick copy & paste.
- Thank you...it's close, however I still get the default shadow box with the </> character in it (seems to happen with all embeds) then if you hover, it loads the content. If that didn't show I'd say this is a good workaround.
I did this by creating a site page with the Quick Links part as the only thing on the page below the title section. This way I can embed that site page into the Home pages and only have to update the Quick Links on the one site page.
The Site Page:
The page as it is embedded on the Home page:
wendysuckow How did you get rid of the search bar and only see the quick links?
I think it's because I only embedded the site page, not the whole sharepoint page? Honestly, I'm not 100% sure WHY it works, but it works. I also use audience targeting, so only people in a specific Team see that Team's manual button.
Thanks for the tip/work around. I will try it and report back. Or, MS could add that glaringly missing option ;^)
- +1 on this! All other CMS systems and sharepoint-like technologies have a "shared content" option for stuff like this. I also have created a great quick links and have it set just as we want it. Being able to reuse it on every page would be such a time saver - esp. if we add new links.
LaxmikantB2 One way to get this outcome is to add the web part to a page template and then use the page template to create additional pages. It won't help if you need to add new links, but it will get you the outcome of having the same set of links on every page. You can also create your first page and then use the +New>Copy this page feature to create subsequent pages.
LaxmikantB2 unfortunately the out-of-the-box quicklinks web part can't be saved & reused on other pages. The uservoice requests around the quick links are https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration?query=quick%20links.
