Full Width in Modern SharePoint Team Site

Hello 

We use modern SharePoint pretty much out of the box with some customizations. I understand that Full Width sections are really only supported in Communications sites and not team sites or pages. 

 

There must be a way around this. We have a need and requirement to utilize full width sections on our team sites, subsites, and pages. Any information on how to make this happen would be appreciated. SPFx, CSS changes, Templates and dev work? I cannot be the only Admin that has had this requirement. Has anyone out here successfully implemented this in any capacity on Team, Subsites, or pages?

 

Thank you

    Hi thoff830 

     

    If you create a new SPFX webpart then you can display it using the full width of the screen.

    You need to perform these steps:

    1) Disable the Navigation on the left side: "Gear"->"Site Information"->"View all Site Settings"->"Navigation Elements". Then disable "Enable Quick Launch"


    2) Creating a new "Full Bleed" SPFX Webpart. Create a new Webpart and set "supportsFullBleed" to true in manifest.json

     


    3) In the same file add "
    SharePointFullPage" to the supportedHosts entry

    4) Create a new App page that hosts your webpart:  Click new Page and select "Apps" and select your app

     

     

    In the example below i created an Iframe webpart on a Teams site and added bing.com.

     

    You would have to develop your whole application as that single webpart.

    Best Regards,
    Sven

    thoff830 out-of-the-box this can't be changed. CSS changes are not rtecommended by Microsoft as it might break something they roll out later. I don't know about SPFx as it's not allowed at our company. So, sorry, not much of a useful answer really.

      Rob_Elliott Please explain this to me. I have a Team site in Sharepoint Indeed I cannot manually add a full-width section like the OP asked. However, if I create a new page, select the Visual page template, the new page has 2 included full-width sections with full width images. So it appears that the functionality is there but Microsoft does not provide the option. Why??

      thoff830 try to replicate this and see if you have the same result.
