Glow Cloud Kit · Newsroom
Dynamic news cards pulled live from your published SharePoint news posts. Eight editorial layouts, colour-coded sources, and the one thing native news can't do: pin, reorder and flag the stories that lead.

Q3 all-hands: everything we covered
Make it yours
Everything is set from SharePoint's standard web-part panel, so any site owner can shape the news without a developer.
Editorial (bento) and Mosaic (masonry) plus Grid, List, Featured, Magazine, Carousel and Headlines. A dominant lead story, asymmetric tiles and a magazine flow - the kind of layout native SharePoint news simply does not offer.
Native news is locked to publish date. Here, in edit mode, you pin a story to the top, reorder pinned stories, and flag one as Breaking - so the story that matters leads, not just the most recent one.
Colour-coded source pills per site, an accent colour of your choice, scrim or solid-panel titles that pop over the image, New and Breaking badges, and rounded or square corners. Make it look designed, not default.
Show the news from this site, or from a set of sites you choose using a live tenant search, combined into one feed - and every reader still sees only the posts they already have access to.
Show the right news to the right people. Target each web part to Microsoft 365 or security groups, so a page can carry the same part with different news for different teams.
Cards paint immediately and thumbnails load in after, so the web part is never in the way. Every layout matches your site theme, light and dark, and reads well on any device.
Where your news comes from
Point the web part at exactly the news you want. Selected sites are picked from a live tenant search, and every reader still sees only the posts they already have access to.
Simplest
Show the news posts published on the current site. Ideal for a team, project or department page that leads with its own updates.
Curated
Pick a set of sites from a live tenant search and combine their news into one feed, so a hub can gather updates from the sites that matter.
Reach
The sites you pick can span hubs and departments, so one page gathers the updates that matter from wherever they are published, without dragging in noise.
Reads as you. One optional, read-only scope.
Newsroom is read as the signed-in user, so everyone sees only the posts they already have access to, and no Microsoft Graph permission is needed for the content itself. Only the optional audience targeting uses a single read-only Graph permission, GroupMember.Read.All, which your admin approves. If it is not granted, targeting simply fails open and the news still shows.
