Page properties Web Part in SharePoint Online

• SharePoint Online Page properties web part helps you to provide the information of a specific Site page like Title, Department, etc.
• In a Page properties web part, we can display only custom properties and a Title column but we can’t display the other default columns like Modified by, Created, etc.
• Only some of the SharePoint columns are supported to display in SharePoint Online, they are:

1. Single line of text
2. Choice
3. Date and Time
4. Number
5. Person or group
6. Managed metadata

• Let’s take a scenario. Suppose, I have a SharePoint Site Page Library and that is by default (Site Pages) in SharePoint.
• In that Site page library, I have some site pages that I have created for different customers like HR Related Page, Press Related Page, etc.

• In the above screenshot, you can see there are various columns like Name, Created, Modified by, etc. Now I will create two more columns on this Site page library i.e.

1. Department = Choice Data type
2. Handled by = Person Data type

• Now by using a SharePoint Page properties web part, I would like to display all the information about a particular Site page (Semiconductor-Products). Here, all the Site page information means Department, Handled by, etc.
