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)
This happened on our intranet hub site as well. Using PnP Powershell to set the layout type of the page to 'Article' and then back to 'Home' fixed this for us.

jftech You can take a look at this article that explains it in detail:
https://sharepoint.handsontek.net/2019/12/08/how-to-change-the-page-layout-on-a-modern-sharepoint-page/For a quick fix you can also use the browser extension mentioned in the article, this allows you to change the layout type without Powershell.
- Thank you I will check it out.
- It looks like the web parts are limited no matter which template you use. I've tried to change from "Email" to "Home" and to "Article" - but it is always a limited list of web parts.
- Yeah, this only works for default pages that had for reasons unknown only the limited set of web part.
For pages that have been created as "Made for email" this seems to be not possible.
