MC665222 – Updated August 8, 2023: Microsoft has added additional information below.
With this feature, users can share SharePoint pages and news posts individually without having to share the entire site, just like other Microsoft 365 files. All sharing settings at the site and tenant level will be respected.
Note: Only the page and items uploaded to the page, like images on the page, will be shared. Other linked content in the page like embedded documents, lists will have to be appropriately shared before adding to the page.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 124822
When this will happen:
Targeted Release: Microsoft will begin rolling out in mid-August 2023 and expect to complete rollout by late August 2023.
Standard Release: Microsoft will begin rolling out in late August 2023 and expect to complete rollout by late September 2023.
USSec/USNat: Microsoft will begin rolling out in mid-September 2023 and expect to complete rollout by late September 2023.
How this will affect your organization:
People in your organization can use the familiar Microsoft 365 sharing experience to share individual pages from a SharePoint site. This will replace the current “Send to” experience at the top of the page with a “Share” experience. Page sharing will be governed by the existing site and organization level file sharing settings. The page editor/site owner can share just the page without having to share the entire site with specific users or an entire organization. This page sharing feature is available only for modern SharePoint site home page, news posts and pages.
Some users may see this feature before other within your organization, but once rollout is complete, all users will have a uniform experience.
What you need to do to prepare:
