Layout options
Daily News Feed can be displayed in three layouts. Select the layout in the web part property pane under Display Options.
- Top News – A featured article with a large image and title, plus a sidebar list of additional articles.
- List – A list of article cards, each with thumbnail, tag, title, optional description, and author/date.
- Card – A horizontal scrollable row of cards with navigation (chevrons and page indicators).
Layouts respond to the section width (1-, 2-, or 3-column SharePoint container), so the same layout may show different column counts or card sizes depending on where the web part is placed.
Will older news still appear on my page?
Yes older news can be toggled to appear on a user's page by selecting 'Show previous news articles if no news to display'. This will display as many news articles as specified by the user and any recent articles.
