Standard Web Parts Disappeared
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)

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?
- We are having the same issue on the home page, and on new pages created
I’m having the same problem
Good afternoon LouiseC35
I had this same problem and found that if you (on a regular page or standard news post) only see the Made for email webparts option you can refresh while in edit mode and all the webpart options will show up.
Good Afternoon Amanda1231930, thank you so much for this it worked a treat!
