I just noticed today that new site pages have a promote feature - which makes it a news announcement promoted on the SharePoint homepage.
Firstly how do you disable this feature?
And how do you remove the news post if something say has been posted by trigger happy people?
Thanks

SolutionAfter some research it looks like this is a common pain point, but per several MS responses there is currently no way to disable this.
Sorry to have to say!

MS doesn't let you toggle off Communications sites, so doubt they'd let you toggle this option either. They're really pushing the "intranet" features of SP Online.

+1 we've had users promote pages then ask us to demote them as it wasn't what they wanted. How do we roll it back ? @Mark Kashman

I found another post that showed me how to demote it, and I recorded a video ...

Works perfectly, and I learned a few things along the way !
Thanks for the video.

Is this on the roadmap as if you provide a button for the user to promote a page there really needs to be an OOTB way to de-promote as well. While the solution provided works I don't think you can ask a regular user to do this.

Hi,
The column for Promoted State is not present anymore. So does anybody else have an idea on how to "demote" a news page?

To see the columns you cannot go through the classic way like modifying the view, you must go through 'Show/hide columns'.

The drag and drop in a grouped view no longer works for Promoted State. It Is now no longer possible to demote a page.

We can demote or unpromote news using following list view extension

@M365061290 Thanks for posting this. I'm not a developer and many here are not, either. What do I do with this github link? Is there something that a simple Power User can apply?

@Ingeborg HawighorstTrue it's not possible to demote news by dragging in the grouped view in my newly created sites. In my old ones, it's still possible. And very little votes in the UserVoice https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/36544987-un-promo...
