Hello, In th new communication sites you have that "Send by email" on top of every news/page. Is it possible to control it somehow via the settings? Apparently it is possible to email a news to an External User and we want to avoid that. Even if the external user cannot open the link in the email, they can see a preview of the page/news. Thanks for your feedback, Best regards,25KViews1like28CommentsNews Carousel Does Not Rotate
Using the News webpart on an O365 communications site and the department wants it to be the rotating carousel view. News source is "recommended for current user." It won't rotate. My coworker can see it rotate in edit mode, and then when it's published it doesn't rotate (I don't see it rotate at all either way though). We have it set to auto-rotate (screenshot attached). Any ideas on reasons why this could be happening?Solved1.4KViews0likes1CommentDisabling of Groups creation should not necessarily hide the Create site link on SP home
If you disable self-service Office 365 Groups creation in a tenant the "Create site" link on the SharePoint home page is hidden (even though the link is set to show under SP admin settings) By hiding this link, there is no way for a user to self-service a communication site, except navigating to _layouts/15/CreateGroup.aspx manually. Disallowing Groups should not necessarily disallow creation of comm sites. Seems Groups settings and SharePoint settings are mixed up a little bit imo.1KViews2likes1CommentModern sites - news webpart limitations
Hi - I'm about to launch a new intranet based on communication sites and finding lots of limitations with the news web part 1) The owner of my homepage would like to be able to identify news articles in the list of site pages. I've added the column promotedstate (using lookup from promoted state) to site pages to try and show where the value is 2 but can't get any values to display in that list view. Is there a better way?. It would be great if Microsoft would provide a way for pages to be changed to news articles. 2) Ideally we want to be able to rank news stories to control the order they appear. Is there any method to use a refineable field or managedproperty to do this? 3) The modern news web part doesn't have any controls to say whether to show news from just this site or the site collection. I'm therefore forced to use highlighted content for news which doesn't display news articles in the same way (you don't get the same first sentence of the article shown). Is there any other way to refine what the news web part searches for? It seems to be the only modern web part with no controls when its one of the most important things on a homepage!
