sharepoint online modern pages - zones or sections
the latest schema for provisioning modern pages (clientsidepage) does not seem to mention zones but refers to sections only. Yet the latest tutorial video (https://dev.office.com/blogs/programming-modern-pages-with-zones-sections-news-and-home-pages) from august refers extensively to zones and sections.
I am not one of the clever sharepoint gurus, so am a bit confused. Can anyone confirm if this tutorial is current or is it now superceded by the new schema which drops zones?
Hello,
In the first versions of the PnP Client Side Pages capabilities, These objects were called Zones and Sections
- Zones were the rows
- Sections were the "columns" inside of these rows
They have been renamed during August to be in sync with the Modern Pages UI.
Now,
- Zones became "Sections" (row)
- Sections became Columns
It is just a matter of wording, but these two last one are the up-to-date terminology

- Been playing around with the new page scripts in modern PnP PowerShell. For modern pages, there aren't zones.
You add "sections", and then you reference "columns" inside the sections. Both are just numbers. So you can't really re-use a zone name, you have to kinda know what sections exist, and what numbers those sections are.
Looks like "sections" and "zones" are interchangable terminology when it comes to modern pages.Hello,
