Microsoft SharePoint Online: Re-imagined Hero with the new carousel layout in pages and news [MC974354]

Message ID: MC974354

We are introducing a new Carousel layout to make the Hero web part more attractive. This new layout will feature a slideshow and a selection of new styles with imagery, bold text, and a call to action, creating a more engaging page experience.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 395214.

[When this will happen:]

Targeted Release: We will start rolling out in mid-January 2025 and expect to complete by late January 2025.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High and DoD): We will begin rolling out mid-February 2025 and expect to complete by late-February 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

Adding a Hero web part to a page or news post has not changed. This update allows authors to create eye-catching carousel slides in any section type, with up to five slides in Carousel layout, enhancing user engagement and highlighting key content to establish page hierarchy. It offers three new styles and supports Stream videos to make the page more appealing.
