SharePoint Online Page Properties Web Part
Before adding a page properties web part to SharePoint, I will discuss what is a page properties web part exactly.
- Through a page properties web part, users can add information and details regarding a particular page.
- It is similar to Library columns which display information regarding files.
- A user can create a column like a branch, title, date, department etc., for a Sharepoint site page.
- It provides users with more information regarding a SharePoint site page.
Note:
Page properties web part only supports data types like a Single line of text,Choice column, Date and Time, Number column,Person or group and Managed metadata.
- Suppose I have a SharePoint Site page library with default site columns like Modified, Modified By, and Created in SharePoint.

- Now, I will create three more columns on this Site page library i.e.
- Branches – Choice Data type
- Submitted to – Person or Group Data type
- Comments – Single line of Text
