News Hub: SharePoint news from every site in one place

The Sprocket News Hub web part brings news posts from any SharePoint site into one colour-coded feed, trimmed to what each reader has access to.

Department news ends up scattered across dozens of sites. News Hub consolidates it on the intranet home page, so staff see everything relevant in one feed and filter it by site, category or date.

News Hub web part FAQs

Can SharePoint show news from multiple sites in one place?

Yes. The built-in News web part can show news from selected sites. Sprocket News Hub adds colour coding for each site and category, and lets readers filter the feed themselves by site, category and date.

Does News Hub respect SharePoint permissions?

Yes. News Hub is security trimmed, so each reader only sees posts from sites they already have access to.
