What we need are useable and templates for email digests... The current format is UI totally unappealing. use your relationship with Adobe to help do this...

I'd be extremely grateful to know when this is expected to be completed? This is something our company needs ASAP and would save a great deal of time than setting up a custom news digest from scratch.

We are facing the same issue. Is there any update on this.
Links in the email are pointing to News Digest page instead of the actual articles.
This is a painful issue for us because in our Sharepoint site when site pages are created they will be in Pending Approval status. Site Pages are visible only after Approvers approve the page.
Hence News Digest Page is created with Pending Approval status, there is no option to approve News Digest Page. So when users click on the link in email it is directed to News Digest page and they are getting Access Denied message.
Request you to please fix the issue to redirect the link directly to the actual article. -

Please fix this. We had started using the News Digest feature two months ago and it has been very successful however, our employees were confused with this recent change in functionality.

The current subject line along with inability to add our corporate branding is making it difficult to promote news digests to be send directly to all users. I guess everyone is sending it first one email and then editing it and later sending it to all. this beats the purpose of the email digest feature.

The current one is a pain with links of Microsoft and SharePoint logo taking users to Microsoft marketing page about SharePoint online plans. it's confusing the hell out of users.

I am having the same issue. We post all of our news on SharePoint as individual articles. Then, I cobble together a weekly employee newsletter by sending a digest of the news to myself and adding our branding to it (a pain in the butt, Microsoft, since you don't allow us to do so in SharePoint). Normally, when it sends the digest, each of the articles' headers are links to that specific news item. All of a sudden, it is linking each and every article to the digest instead of to the news post. This is a malfunction that needs to be fixed. The point of the digest is to allow people browse the buffet of news items and then go look at the specific news article they select. If I wanted them to go look at a full list of articles, I would just create a simple email saying "Go to our news site: link."

This is another similar request:
The bottom line is we need staff to be able to tell emails are from their own domain - we repeatedly tell them to be wary of external emails because of phishing etc.
Please help Microsoft!!!

The SharePoint news digest function is generating an email that links to the automatically generated digest page instead of the individual articles themselves.
This automatically generated digest page cannot be published on a site with a publishing approval workflow, meaning that when the recipient of the digest email clicks on the links within the email, they are directed to an unpublished page - prompting them to ask for permission to access.
This has been occurring since late October 2020 and it made the email news digest function unusable for our news sites. Has anyone found a solution? -

If you are using a digest from a Group site, the logo appears in the top of the email but digests from a Communication site does not. We need the logo to appear for all types of SharePoint sites.

Additional options with full size imagery appropriately sized to correspond with thumbnail image. Current aspect ratios do not play well across instances of the thumbnails.

It's 2020..... Anything happening with this request? The news digest feature as it is now is pretty time-consuming.

It would also be fantastic if the descriptive text for each digest piece was modifiable. The standard text generated sometimes misses the mark, especially with formatting in the news pieces such as columns and titles.
