SharePoint Online Modern Pages Layout Features – Lack of flexible no code options
I’m sure its been covered before, in multiple other posts, but wanted to re-iterate again.
The current limitations in SharePoint Online’s modern page layouts are frustrating and make it difficult to achieve basic design goals that are easily accomplished in other platforms like WordPress, Joomla, and even Canva. Users shouldn’t need to resort to custom PowerShell scripts or CSS injections to adjust the width of web parts, control margins, or manage full-width layouts effectively.
The platform needs more built-in flexibility to allow for:
Easily configured full width sections that utilize modern monitors (i.e above 1000px width) – can’t believe I even had to write that in 2024 for Microsoft (my monitor is 7680x 2160) and the modern full width section option is useless.Customizable web part widths within full-width sections – particularly for Add-ins (Power BI, Power Apps, etc.)More control over padding and margins without needing custom scripts.Layouts that support modern design standards without needing advanced coding and easily configurable in section edit panels.
These features are basic in most content management systems (e.g. Canva, WordPress, Joomla etc), and it’s disappointing that SharePoint, as a leading platform, still struggles with these issues after years of feedback from users. Please prioritize these improvements in your upcoming releases.
