SharePoint: Flexible Section Authoring Improvements

🚨 The Signal: SharePoint page layout tools are improved, making it easier to create complex page designs. This could lead to more visually rich, but potentially less accessible or secure, content if not governed.

The Impact

SharePoint authors gain new layout tools, increasing the risk of inconsistent content governance and potential accessibility issues if not managed.

• SharePoint Authors: Risk of creating non-compliant content if not guided by updated policies.
• Content Governance Teams: Increased need to review and update content creation policies.
• Security Teams: Indirect risk from potential for less secure content if not properly reviewed.
• Accessibility Teams: Potential for increased accessibility issues if new layouts are not designed inclusively.

The Action

1. Review existing SharePoint content governance policies for page design and accessibility.
2. Communicate updated content creation guidelines to SharePoint authors.
3. Consider implementing SharePoint site design templates to enforce consistent layouts.
4. Educate authors on secure and accessible page design principles.
