SharePoint News in Outlook

Originally posted by Microsoft Aug 29, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

With the new integration of SharePoint News into Outlook, news authors can preview and send full news posts as emails to their reader’s inbox. To help authors get started, we’re also adding six templates in Outlook and SharePoint. Finally, with our unified page analytics, authors will be able to see their total page reads across outlook and SharePoint as one number.
