Hi Alan Trafford,

 

Are you targeting modern or classic experience?

      I'm following you know...just quickly tried it on Office 365 workbench and had the same issues. It's either a bug, functionality yet to be released in the future (maybe for the new web part picker?), or the usage should be simpler or better documented

       

      I would recommend that you search the issues list on the following GitHub repo and add a new entry if you can't find the issue there:

      https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-docs

       

      There is a large number of items there so don't be surprised if it takes some days to get an answer back.

      Hi Yannick Borghmans,

       

      When you open the web part picker on a modern page, do you see out-of-the-box web parts grouped into different groups?
