On our intranet's home page, when clicking on the "New" menu item, there is only "Page"and "copy of this page". There should also be options to create a new news post or news link (among others). If I edit the page, then discard changes, all the options are there, but if I then refresh the page, it's back to just page and copy of page.
What controls what is available on the "New" menu? I compared this with a test site's homepage but I can't determine what is different about them.

@LucidBike1140 if you have a news web part on your intranet homepage then clicking on the dropdown next to Add will give you the News post and News link.

Hi @Susan Hanley,
Yes, the site was originally migrated (two years ago) using ShareGate. I can't remember if this page was the original home.aspx or if I created a new one. What's strange is that when we first switched to this page, the menu items were there but then they disappeared at some point. I used PnP PowerShell to quickly switch it to a new home page and back... and they're back! (I did try just using PnP-SetHomepage to reset it, but it didn't help. For some reason it had to be switched to another page and back.)
Set-PnPHomePage -RootFolderRelativeUrl sitepages/TempPage.aspx
Get-PnPHomePage
Set-PnPHomePage -RootFolderRelativeUrl SitePages/Home.aspx
Get-PnPHomePage
Thanks for your suggestion!

@LucidBike1140 Hi Steve,
I have a solution i believe.
We could not create New > Link via that path either.
You simply need to go via Documents folder of the Site in question:
Let me know if this helps?

Ray

@RaymondDeng Thanks, Ray, but the original issue is that the new news post or link was missing. In the document library menu, it only allows the creating of regular (non-news) links. As mentioned earlier, the solution involved temporarily switching the page. That has been the permanent fix.
