SharePoint organisation news site

As a SharePoint administrator you can specify any number of organisation news sites.
An organisation news site is a site where the news/posts get a visual enhancement and appear on the SharePoint start page.

Using PnP PowerShell you can:

  • Set a site as an organisation news site.
  • Return a list of all the configured organisational news sites.
  • Remove a site from the list of organisational news sites.

Using SharePoint Online Management Shell, connect as global admin or SharePoint admin.

To set a site as an organization news source in your tenant, run the following command

Add-PnPOrgNewsSite
   -OrgNewsSiteUrl <SitePipeBind>
   [-Connection <PnPConnection>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Example:

Add-PnPOrgNewsSite -OrgNewsSiteUrl "https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/mainsitenews"​

To return a list of all the configured organisational news sites run the following command

Get-PnPOrgNewsSite
   [-Connection <PnPConnection>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Example:

Get-PnPOrgNewsSite

To remove a site from the list of organisational news sites run the following command

Remove-PnPOrgNewsSite
      -OrgNewsSiteUrl <SitePipeBind>
      [-Connection <PnPConnection>]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Example:

Remove-PnPOrgNewsSite -OrgNewsSiteUrl "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/mainsitenews"
