August 2024 update: When creating a new News post, all templates will be grouped and users will no longer need to select from a specific email-ready category. Refs: MC847880 and 365 Roadmap ID 393335. This update is due from late August to early September 2024.

TL;DR:
SharePoint news authors will be able to preview and send entire news posts as email. There will be six made-for-email page templates in Outlook and SharePoint. Authors will be able to see their total page reads across outlook and SharePoint as one number. Due mid to late September 2023.

Details:
MS: “To create a News post for email:

  • Select a “Made for email” template from the news template picker
  • When you are ready to publish, you can post your news and send it directly to email in one step:


Sending a page as an email will not change existing site permissions and will not give your recipients access to the original page if they don’t already have it”. 


Availability:
Due mid to late September 2023.
