Audience Targeting - Text web part
Does anyone know of a way to do audience targeting for the textbox web part? Say I have a single page with two textboxes, and I want to display each textbox to a different audiences. I know that ...
- This is not supported - yet - but folks at Microsoft have indicated that audience targeting for additional web parts is on the horizon. We could target text web parts (content editor web part) in classic SharePoint so my guess is that being able to target the Text web part will happen at some point. In the meantime, a work-around that I sometimes use is to create a page with the relevant information for each audience and then use the highlighted content web part (which can be enabled to respect audience targeting) to pull in the page link for the relevant page based on the user's audience. This works best when there is some content that is for all users and other content that is only relevant to selected users. It doesn't actually display the content to the user, but it makes the content only one click away.

SusanHanley Thanks for replying 🙂 - I trust this very much to be the case, coming from you.
I get that what you suggest could be a way of doing it, but we do want to avoid that extra click, plus the nightmare of having to maintain a big number of extra pages. We're actually using a third party CMS addon to handle it for now, but was just curious as to whether this was possible with native SharePoint.
Hopefully it'll show up sooner than later... along with the ability to set line-height for text blocks...
Thank you again.
