Roadmap question - 21047 "SharePoint News Digest Email"
Saw the new feature and I love it!! But I have a few questions/requests
- Is there any way to replace Microsoft and SharePoint logos at the top with those from my own organization or at least put those at the bottom.
- Also can the SharePoint logo just above the header be replaced?
- Also, I have several subsites that have their own newsfeed. Is there any way to combine those newsfeeds with my main newsfeed into one email digest?

Great suggestions Lanetta.
- At this time we don't support changing the logos in the News digest.
- News digest only works with our modern news system, so it doesn't have a way to roll-up non news content. We're thinking about the easiest model to support sharing existing content into the news system right now.
Thanks for the info John_Sanders, I have a couple of other q's that I havent been able to find the answers for... Are there any help guides on the news digest? Is there a plan to enable rich text in the header section or the intro text box? Would love to be able to add an image in the header section so it takes the focus away (a little) from the sharepoint icon that will confuse staff! I'm also keen to understand how others are managing permission on who can send the digest (this may not be the right forum for the business type q's!) In general would love a little more info above and beyond https://support.office.com/en-us/article/create-and-send-a-news-digest-42efc3c6-605f-4a9a-85d5-1f9ff46019bf?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
- John_SandersThanks for the questions Jo. That help article is what we have on news digest, so I'll work with our awesome user assistance team to get more info in it.
At the moment, we aren't planning on supporting rich text in the summary area, but if we hear enough feedback that a desired upgrade we can look into it. Right now it reuses page descriptions, which are plain text. Similarly the images come from the various news Para, but the "chrome" of the digest is part of our template and not editable. I've heard from a few folks that they'd love to have an ability to modify those images, but we haven't invested in that yet. I'm curious what you're thinking for the permissions. Today anyone that can edit a site (eg create news) can send a digest. Is there a need to lock that down more? If so, can you help me understand it better?
If you submitted a user voice on the logo change, please let me know so I can vote it up. Very first question from my corp comms folks.
Thanks,
Berney
All good questions. Might have to submit a uservoice request to get the ball rolling on these added features.
