Standard Web Parts Disappeared
- Sep 14, 2023
peruchinit Hey, looks like you've created a news post using one of the new 'News for Email' templates.
These posts are pretty clever - but they're limited. They're designed to work in SharePoint and also in email clients. This means that the available web parts are limited to ones that will work in emails - you can read more about them here: SharePoint News for Email templates - Microsoft Support
If you want all the web parts, you'll need to create a new news post and choose one of the 'Standard' templates instead (e.g. Blank, Visual, Basic text)

I got the same problem on my main page. But It shows perfectly on the other sub-page. The problem happened after I edited the news.

HelloBenTeoh thank you very much for your response! I guess I had indeed inadvertently created a news post with the email template, but I deleted it and assumed that everything would be back to normal. That's odd that it would freeze the web part options after the fact. But creating a new one with the standard template fixed the issue, and I'll be sure to not choose the email template again!

We seem to be having the same issue although we appear to be having this across any page I now go to edit? I cannot access any of the standards webparts through the drop down and even searching for the countdown for example shows nothing, trying to restore an older version of the page also doesn't work. Is anyone else experiencing this?

- Jlim_150Sep 26, 2023Brass ContributorHelloBenTeoh , why the News Template will affect the web parts in whole site?

Jlim_150 hey, sorry I haven’t seen this happen myself in the tenant’s have access to but the solutions discussed here sound like a workaround. Hopefully there’s an update to address this soon.
