Remove "New" button at the top of a page

Question

Is it possible to remove the "New" button on the left on 1 or 2 specific site pages?

We have a workflow attached to news items, however people are often confused with whether they should select "News item" or "Page" from this menu, so we'd rather hide it altogether and create a custom CTA on the page.

Answer 1

The possible OOTB way to remove New button on the home page is to control permissions for users in the site collection.

Go to Site permissions -> Advanced permissions settings -> Grant users with Read, Contribute or Edit permission.

After granting permissions for users, the New button will disappear on the home page.

As a reminder, controlling permissions for users in the site collection may affect custom Call-To-Action button on the page.

Due to the home page of SharePoint online site collection is in new experience, as a workaround, you need to deploy the SPFx web part to inject CSS/JS code to remove New button on the home page.
