Building beautiful SharePoint portals - Latest features + AI authoring
summary
Latest SharePoint authoring shows concrete features: flexible sections let authors overlap and resize web parts on a canvas and become the second most used section type; AI sections (in production) generates page sections from local site documents and context (no hallucinations); Vibe authoring (public preview) offers chatlike prompts to edit layout, swap images, and refine copy but cannot publish for you. Demo uses brand center fonts, editorial card web part, built‑in accessibility checker, and a thumbs‑up/down feedback loop; hackathon entries are 1–8 minute videos due March 16 and winners get Surface laptops.
