[SPO] Can users choose sources for news?
That type of personalisation doesn't exist I am afraid, not out the box anyway in Modern SharePoint. I haven't looked if there are any coded solutions but I have done this on projects in the past in classic SharePoint.
Andrew Hodges, thanks for your input. So if I understand correctly, you've created custom solutions for this in the past, for SharePoint Classic sites?
Yes, the way you would do it is have a list of all the news settings a user can choose.
When the webpart is shown to the user it checks the list and if that user exists it loads the values and filters the news. If the user doesn't exist they are given the option to choose news categories.
You may still be able to use fields against each users profile in SharePoint instead of a separate list but not technically competent enough to say that currently works, that's what I have Devs for.
