Authors can now use Design Ideas in Microsoft SharePoint to rearrange and reformat their image section, text section, and banner webpart.
[When this will happen:]
Targeted Release: Available now
General Availability (Worldwide): Available now
[How this will affect your organization:]
SharePoint page authors and editors will now be able to use Design Ideas on their compatible sections.
Design Ideas identifies the text and webpart content of the section currently being authored, and suggests new layouts, backgrounds, text formatting, and image webparts to enhance the section. You can then select the suggestions to apply them.
When you click into a new section with one blank text webpart, Design Ideas will offer formatting options that you can add to get started.
After your section has additional content, Design Ideas will summarize your text to provide appropriate image webparts and background suggestions along with basic text formatting.
When you first start an editing session, a red dot will appear in the Design Ideas content pane pivot to let you know there are ideas available. Select this pivot to open the Design Ideas panel.
For this initial release, Design Ideas will only be available for the sections containing:
- 1 banner webpart
- 1, 2, and 3 text webparts
- 1, 2, and 3 text and image webparts
- 1 blank text webpart
[What you need to do to prepare:]
This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
