Modern 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! Thanks Ian

Published Date Format not set properly on Modern Site Pages in SharePoint online - AU Region
Has anyone looked into an issue with date format of Published date on Modern Site Page? It is somehow setting to US date format even though the regional setting is set to Australia. Have ruled out the user profile setting as it is set to use the option by site administrators. The same issue also occurs in Communication site pages.
