We’re rolled out audience targeting on pages and news posts, and allow targeting content in the news and highlighted content web parts. You can also soon target links in quick links (see the product roadmap for dates).

If you have specific web parts you’d like to see add audience targeting capabilities, please create an individual request for each part.

Thank you!

We’ve shipped anchors on pages for all text web part headings (H1, H2, H3). Simply hover over a heading on a modern page and you’ll see the link symbol to that anchor. Clicking on the link adds it to the end of your page URL #as-an-anchor-using-the-text-from-the-heading.

Modern pages now have different layouts for the tile area that support showing only the title and no image. There are four supported layouts today: Image and title, Plain, Color block, and Overlap.

If you’d like to conserve space and not show an image, please select “Plain”.

We added this capability to both quick links and hero web parts, via the “From a link” tab in the file picker. You can add mailto:.

We do not intend to support other linking formats at this time (e.g. file, ftp)

Page templates are now rolled out to 100% WW and you can create your own templates per site. If you have more or different needs, please open a new item and give us some specifics so we can ensure we build what you need. Thanks!

There are two requests in this one item. Based on the title, I’m going to mark this done with our work to add four layouts to the title area. One of these layouts is called “Plain” and shows only one line of page title, with no image.

Many of the comments are asking for another great feature, not related to the page title area, but rather the site header. We’re also working on allowing options to resize this area. We’ve added a “compact view” for the site header, and have plans for an even more minimized view. If this feature is what you’d like to upvote, please add a new UserVoice request.

You can now drag and drop, or paste images into modern pages. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?featureid=65599

Hello! Push notifications to the SP mobile app for comments and replies on modern pages and news posts is in prod.

Emails for comment and replies on pages and news posts are rolling out.

Please see this tech community post for details: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/April-2019-Updates-to-SharePoint-News/ba-p/481718

This should now be fixed

We’ve shipped modern page templates, and it’s now at 100% WW.

You can see the announcement here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/SharePoint-News-Enhancements-March-2019/ba-p/366585

If you have additional suggestions on capabilities you need, please add a new UserVoice suggestion. Thank you.

As we mentioned in the last update, we’re working on anchor linking for modern pages, and it should be available shortly. We’ll clear up the m365 Roadmap to ensure that gets added.

See this suggestion:

Text formatting is already available in the rich text editor on modern pages.

To create an image map you could use the image web part for a single link, but to make multiple links across different parts of the image, you’d need to leverage a web part designed to do that. There are partners and potentially open source web parts to create Image Maps.

If you have other suggestions (e.g. font selection), please search and vote for those, or open a new suggestion. Thank you.

Sorry we neglected to let you know this is already available on modern pages in the text web part. Either type the syntax directly into the page (and on enter we should recognize it), or use ctrl/cmd + K to bring up the page picker.

You can now add custom columns on the site pages library.

You can use the promote button on a modern page to promote a current page and make it news.

The site settings link is now in the gear dropdown on any modern page.

We’ve recently rolled out a group calendar web part that allows you to pull in calendar info from your team calendar.

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/New-Group-calendar-web-part-rolling-out-now/td-p/99819

At the moment it doesn’t allow you to schedule team meetings, but we’ll likely not invest on adding that to SharePoint as there are so many other ways to create team calendar events (Outlook, Teams, Skype, etc.) If you feel you need that directly in SharePoint, please tell us more.

You can choose between four title area sizes & layouts. The smallest one (plain) simply shows the title with no image on one line. Click the pencil on the left hand side of the title area to access these settings.
