Re: Please help! ALL Modern pages impacted | SharePoint spacing issue
The corrected spacing between paragraphs is a fix we implemented to return to previous modern page spacing, fixing a bug we introduced while making a performance improvement in late 2020. At that time, we removed virtually all space between paragraphs, making reading quite difficult for many users. Our design team discovered this issue in late March, and we've been slowly rolling out the bug fix for the last few months. We recently moved to the final phase of the flight roll-out from 50% to 100% WW. Here's is a comparison picture of the current (and previous spacing on modern pages), and the brief time when we had extremely tight spacing introduced by the performance optimization. Example text from Vegan Ipsum - The Vegan Lorem Ipsum Text Generator If the fix somehow introduced some other spacing oddness, we're unaware of, please let us know. The intended fix adds back spacing between all paragraphs. fyi Bruno AleixoRe: Modern SharePoint News Subscription
matt howell - today if you select News source = Recommended for current user, we'll pull news for the page viewer. This includes news from people you work with, people in their management chain, and news from sites you follow. It is however still ordered still in recent order (not a weighted relevance ordering).Re: SharePoint deliverables marked as October on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap
Looks like we had a miscommunication on our roadmap between months and quarters... where we misplaced some items that should be Q4 (e.g. sometime in October, November, or December) into earlier months in Q4. I apologize. We'll get this fixed up. Mark-Kashman can help get the roadmap updated.Re: How to Send an Email when added a News Post in SharePoint Online site
If they use the SharePoint mobile app today (iOS or Android), they'll be notified of news posts by people they work closely with (powered by the graph). We're also currently have notifications enabled for sites you follow within Microsoft (and will be rolling this out in the future to TR, then production). We've built a feature to email people that don't have the mobile app installed if a notification "should" go to them (based on graph, site following, etc.) but we haven't yet figured out the right way to integrate that into the authoring process and create the right notification settings. If you have thoughts on what you think the right experience is, we'd love to hear them. Thanks! fyi Debjani MitraRe: Use the Quick Links web part to put your content front and center
Thanks for the feedback Larry. The logic should be - link on the same site opens in the same window. Link to another site/domain/etc opens in a new tab. This is the behavior we're trying to consistently create with all our links in modern experiences (going away from author manual choice to a more consistent experience for all users).Re: Roadmap question - 21047 "SharePoint News Digest Email"
Thanks for the questions Jo. That help article is what we have on news digest, so I'll work with our awesome user assistance team to get more info in it. At the moment, we aren't planning on supporting rich text in the summary area, but if we hear enough feedback that a desired upgrade we can look into it. Right now it reuses page descriptions, which are plain text. Similarly the images come from the various news Para, but the "chrome" of the digest is part of our template and not editable. I've heard from a few folks that they'd love to have an ability to modify those images, but we haven't invested in that yet. I'm curious what you're thinking for the permissions. Today anyone that can edit a site (eg create news) can send a digest. Is there a need to lock that down more? If so, can you help me understand it better?Re: Roadmap question - 21047 "SharePoint News Digest Email"
Great suggestions Lanetta. At this time we don't support changing the logos in the News digest. News digest only works with our modern news system, so it doesn't have a way to roll-up non news content. We're thinking about the easiest model to support sharing existing content into the news system right now.Re: Use the Quick Links web part to put your content front and center
We actually don't support that option in our modern parts, instead trying to create a more consistent experience across all parts/pages. If the content is on the same site, it opens in the same window. If it's on another site/external/etc. it opens in a new tab.
