Question

Sharepoint page keeps reverting to made for email

Teri Ko 30

I used a homepage template, modified it and saved it. When I go to edit, I can only use web parts Made for email. How do I access all of it again? Screen Shot 2023-09-21 at 3.33.41 PM

This also happened to me as of today. The page I created a few weeks ago somehow now only has the "made for email" options even though last week it had all regular page options available. Something went wrong for sure.

This happened on our intranet hub site as well. Using PnP Powershell to set the layout type of the page to 'Article' and then back to 'Home' fixed this for us.

Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite -Interactive

Set-PnPPage -Identity Home.aspx -LayoutType Article
Set-PnPPage -Identity Home.aspx -LayoutType Home

Disconnect-PnPOnline

Good to know it’s not just me… must be a bug in the system. Thanks!

Hi @Teri Ko,

It looks like you have created a news post using one of the new 'News for Email' templates.

These posts are designed to work in SharePoint and also in email clients. This means that the available web parts are limited to ones that will work in emails - you can read more about them here: SharePoint News for Email templates - Microsoft Support

If you want all the web parts, you will need to create a new news post and choose one of the 'Standard' templates instead (e.g. Blank, Visual, Basic text)

No I didn’t, I was able to add web parts like quick links and events and everything when I set up. It’s when I go to edit it, to add more web parts that I no longer have access to them.

Hi @Teri Ko,

Apologize for the late reply.

My coworkers and I have tested it in our test environments and neither of us have encountered your problem.

The problem may be on the page. I noticed that you are using the homepage template. What is this homepage template? Is it the original home page template of the SharePoint site collection or is it a template that you have defined yourself?

It’s one from the sharepoint site collection. I’ll try recreating another page and hope it doesn’t do this to me again. Thank you
