Web part overview

This article describes the Action Button web part, which allows you to create a button that opens a link or a Microsoft Power App in a panel or in a new tab. 

This component is now obsolete and is no longer available. We recommend using the Action Button web part instead.

Add the web part 

1. Open the edit mode of the SharePoint page by clicking on edit at the top right of the page,
2. Position the mouse over or under an existing web part, and click the "+" button to open the web part catalog. 
3. Search or scroll down in the catalog to select the Action button web part in the category "Text, media and content". 
4. The web part is added to the desired location. 

Web part options

There are two types of possible visuals of the web part: 

• Button with the button text in WYSIWYG.

Other settings are available in the control panel, including: 

• The type of link (URL or Power App).
• The parameters of the link.
• The opening type (Redirect, New Tab or Panel).
• The background color for the button.
• The position of the button on the page.
• The size of the button or the image. 

You can target audiences. Only people in the groups with the specified IDs will see the web part.

To retrieve the ID of a group: - Go to the advanced site permissions - Click on the group and the ID is then in the URL of the page (it is a number, example: 3, 5.)

To see the advanced settings: Link to the page
