This adds more ease and helps users to analyze time better, especially when they must deal with different time zones.
News Web Part & Highlighted Content Web Parts
Hero tiles are getting provided as a News Part Template. Users requested for the hero tiles like layouts in the News web part too, and Microsoft is presenting a fitting solution now. The highlight of the hero tiles is that it has got more visibility and accessibility.
