A
Hi
I'm
deep
jani
mithra.
I
am
a
program
manager
on
the
sharepoint
team.
Now
sharepoint
news
is
allows
you
to
create
visually
beautiful
content
really
easily,
that
contains
dynamic
information
and
is
easily
distributed
across
microsoft's,
apps
and
experiences
organization.
News
is
a
special
kind
of
sharepoint
news.
It's
the
authoritative
news
coming
out
of
your
organization.
A
How
is
it
different
than
other
kinds
of
news?
Well,
when
organization
news
is
published,
it
is
distributed
broadly
to
all
employees,
news
feeds
in
their
sharepoint
start
page
and
their
sharepoint
mobile
app,
and
no
matter
where
that
news
post
rolls
up
whether
it
be
on
the
start
page
in
the
mobile
app
in
any
news
website
across
the
intranet.
It
has
a
special
visual
treatment
behind
the
site
name.
That
indicates
that
this
news
is
authoritative.
A
Let's
take
a
look
at
how
it
works,
so
here
we
are
on
the
leadership
connection
site.
This
is
the
site
where
contoso
employees
come
to
connect
with
the
leadership
at
the
company.
Now
this
site
is
a
source
of
organization
news.
Let
me
explain
when
a
news
post
is
published
on
this
site,
it
is
distributed
broadly
to
all
employees
in
their
sharepoint
start
page
and
their
sharepoint
mobile,
app
and
no
matter
where
that
news
post
shows
up.
A
It
has
a
special
visual
treatment
behind
the
site,
name
similar
to
what
you
see
here
with
the
highlighting
that
indicates
that
the
news
post
is
authoritative
and
draws
the
audience
in.
So
in
this
scenario,
I'm
a
member
of
the
corporate
communications
team
and
I
want
to
create
a
new
news
post
announcing
a
hackathon
for
north
america
employees.
A
But
the
corporate
communications
team
has
also
been
able
to
create
custom
templates
for
this
site.
As
you
can
see
up
here,
page
templates
are
a
great
way
to
enforce
a
consistency
in
look
and
feel
across
organization
news.
So
in
this
case,
since
I'm
announcing
a
hackathon,
I'm
going
to
go
with
the
company
initiative,
template
and
let's
go
ahead
and
create
that
news
post,
so
here
notice
that
a
new
news
post
got
created
with
web
parts
already
there
a
layout
already
there
and
with
placeholder
content.
Let's
now
dive
in
and
flesh
this
out.
A
First,
I'm
going
to
give
this
news
post
a
name
north
america,
hackathon
and
next
I'm
going
to
replace
the
placeholder
banner
image.
So
to
do
that,
I
can
click
on
change
image
and
you
can
see
that
sharepoint
gives
me
a
number
of
different
sources
here
from
where
I
can
pull
my
images.
In
fact,
one
of
the
big
advantages
of
using
sharepoint
news
is
that
you
can
get
your
images
from
so
many
different
sources.
Tell
your
story
in
a
really
visually
compelling
way.
So
you
can
use
stock
images.
A
Microsoft
recently
acquired
thousands
of
beautiful,
high
quality
images
for
you
to
be
able
to
use
entirely
royalty
free
throughout
your
internet.
Of
course
you
can
use
web
search.
You
can
use
organization
assets.
These
are
approved
assets
from
your
organization
that
any
author
of
a
page
or
news
post
can
use.
You
can
upload
from
one
drive
from
it
from
this
site,
from
your
computer
and
from
a
link,
so
in
this
case
we're
going
to
use
stock
images
and
I'm
going
to
search
for
computer,
and
I
like
this
image
for
a
hackathon.
A
So
let's
select
that
grid
next
to
fill
out
this
text
web
part.
So
of
course,
I
can
type
directly
in
here
and
sharepoint
provides
a
number
of
different
formatting
options,
but
I
have
already
drafted
up
my
text
in
word,
so
all
I
need
to
do
is
go
and
copy
it
from
there
paste
it
right
in
and
notice
that
all
of
the
formatting
carried
right
over.
A
I
also
have
an
image
in
my
file
browser
that
I'd
like
to
bring
into
this
canvas.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
pull
that
up.
This
is
the
one
and
I
can
drag
it
and
drop
this
right
here,
and
this
has
generated
an
image
webpart
for
itself,
which
is
great,
because
I
actually
want
to
move
this
image
to
the
right
of
my
text.
A
So
to
do
that,
I
can
use
our
wiki
linking
capability
that
allows
page
authors
to
bring
in
other
pages
and
news
posts
in
just
a
few
key
strokes.
So
let
me
show
you
how
you
can
do
that
you
need
to
use
the
standard
wiki
linking
syntax,
which
is
open
brackets
open
brackets.
This
intelligently
suggests
some
content
to
you.
You
can
type
to
filter
and
just
like
that,
it's
linked.
A
Let's
do
that
again
for
another
post.
I
want
to
add
on
here
great
and
so
now
the
content
of
this
news
post
is
ready
to
go.
However,
I
don't
want
to
publish
this
news.
Post
till
the
ceo
has
announced
the
hackathon
at
her
north
america,
town
hall,
and
so
to
do
that
I
can
leverage
our
page
scheduling
capability.
A
You
can
go
to
page
details
and
you
can
see
there
is
an
option
here
to
toggle
scheduling
on
here.
I
can
give
it
the
date
of
the
town
hall,
which
is
june
5th,
give
it
a
time
11
am
so
that
the
news
post
goes
out
concurrently
with
the
announcement
and
notice
that
the
post
news
button
up
here
changed
to
say
schedule
also
recall
this
is
a
hackathon
for
employees
based
in
north
america,
and
I
can
use
audience
targeting
to
ensure
that
this
news
post
is
highlighted
to
the
right
audience.
A
So
you
see
this,
you
see
there
is
an
audience
property
here,
I'm
going
to
put
in
the
o365
group
for
north
america,
employees
great
so
now,
when
this
news
post
publishes
on
schedule,
it's
going
to
show
up
for
the
right
employees
throughout
the
intranet.
So,
let's
go
ahead
and
click
on
schedule,
and
soon
I
get
the
confirmation
that
this
news
post
has
been
scheduled
to
publish
at
the
date
and
the
time
that
I
specified
by
the
way.
A
Next,
I'm
going
to
go
over
to
another
site.
This
is
the
control,
so
news
site,
so
this
site
brings
together
news
from
across
the
internet.
You
can
think
of
this
kind
of
like
an
employee's
one-stop
shop
for
company
news
and
on
this
site
home
page.
There
are
a
number
of
news
web
parts
that
you
can
see
right
here,
I'm
actually
going
to
go
into
edit
mode
to
show
you
how
these
web
parts
have
been
set
up.
So
this
is
the
first
news
web
part
on
the
home
page.
You
know
it's
always
above
the
fold.
A
Employees
coming
to
the
site
are
necessarily
going
to
see
the
content.
That's
in
it.
So
contoso
corporate
communications
team
really
wants
to
ensure
that
the
content
in
here
is
managed
and
curated,
and
so
to
do
that
they've
leveraged
our
organized
capability
that
you
can
see
here
that
allows
you
to
pin
specific
news
posts
to
specific
locations
of
that
webpart.
A
A
So
this
means
that
when
that
hackathon
news
post
gets
published,
that's
going
to
show
up
here
pushing
an
older
news
post
out,
but
I
also
want
to
scroll
down
and
show
you
that
this
web
part
has
audience
targeting
enabled
and
what
that
means
is
that,
when
an
employee,
that's
part
of
that
north
america
group
sees
this
web
part.
They
are
going
to
see
the
hackathon
news
post
here.
An
employee
that
doesn't
belong
to
that
group
is
not
going
to
see
that
news
post.
A
A
The
news
you
see
here
is
determined
by
the
sites
you
work
in
the
people
you
work
with
along
with
organization
news
and
by
the
way,
this
is
a
great
place
to
see
the
visual
distinction
between
organization
news
and
other
news
notice
that
that
news,
that's
coming
from
the
leadership
connection
site
and
the
landing
which
are
two
sites
that
serve
organization
news,
have
that
special
highlighting
behind
the
site
name,
whereas
the
other
news
posts
do
not.
If
you'd
like
to
learn
more
about
information,
architecture,
governance
or
even
how
to
train.
