M365 Changelog: Microsoft SharePoint: New Section Level Content Align on pages

MC789318 – Coming soon: Authors will be able to control their content alignment across adjacent columns to the top, center, or bottom of that section.

These alignments can be found in your section properties for 2-column and 3-column sections. For single column sections, alignment options are unavailable since content will create the minimum amount of vertical space to house it by default, making additional configuration redundant. 

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 387808

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): Microsoft will begin rolling out mid-May 2024 and expect to complete by late May 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

Authors can now control their content alignment across adjacent columns to either the top, center, or bottom of that section.
