Why do modern pages leave so much white space?
When using modern pages, there is always about 25% of the screen width that is unused on the right side. Why won't any web parts extend further to the right and use that space?
Hi Tom!
It seems like the section contains three columns and the third one is empty. Have You tried to switch the layout option from "Three columns" to "Two Columns"?
This is not the issue. I have the same problem where on all of my modern pages there is a huge white blank column on the right side no matter what I select in the sections.
- Yup - we get too when in full-screen. It must be by design as they disappear when the window is made smaller.

That said, there is a school of thought that says that narrow columns are easier to read - your eye doesn't scan as much. So I'm okay with the white band. I think this is why newspapers have narrow columns
