You have the possibility to highlight news by pinning them. A pinned story always appears in the place where it was placed, regardless of the sort order, the publication of new stories, etc.

You also have the option to display a pin for each pinned news so that your users can distinguish them.

When you click on the "Pin news" button, a panel allowing you to search for news appears:

You have the choices between:

  • All sites: the news displayed to the user comes from all the sites to which he has access,
  • A list of sites: the news displayed to the user comes from the selected sites to which the user has access. Please note that this does not display news from a site to which the user does not have access,
  • This site: only displays news published on the current site

Site selection

When you select the "A list of sites" option, a panel appears to allow you to search for the sites to select (this panel can be reopened later by clicking on the "Select sites" button that appears under the drop-down list):

Microsoft Audience

Modern Audiences is a Microsoft feature that allows you to target your content to a specific population, using your organization's user groups created in your Office365 solution.

You have the choice to enable audience targeting in each of your News components, in order to define whether you want to display the articles only to the relevant audiences.

Audience targeting allows articles to be traced to a user only if the latter is part of the groups defined as the article's audience.
