Sharing from Multiple News Sections in One Digest?
Joni_Kirkto keep things simple add a column "Department" to the News Post content type and enter the values for your departments. Create pages for your departments and filter the news on that page by the department column. On the main News page dont filter by department. Make sure you create the site as a communication site so you don't get lumbered with the left Nav.
You can use that approach to filter any sort of categories of news, like Important, or Social etc.
It gets a bit more complicated if you have a lot of content for each department and need to have a site per department and a Hub site might be the best way to go, which the other person that replied mentioned.
Andrew Hodges This is an idea for news by department, but doesn't help with the news digest (email) functionality. I'm not sure that what I want to do is supported by SharePoint.
Joni_KirkI have used the new email functionality but hadn't realised it was called a digest. From what I understand it is possible as long as you can add a Webpart somewhere in your site that shows a feed of all the news. Using the Department column idea create a page and add a news Webpart that shows all news from the site. Click see all and then use the digest functionality to send news items in email from any of the departments.
