Most of the time, when you deploy a custom web part that you made or a third party one, it becomes available for any user of your SharePoint. This means collaborator can edit a page and install the custom web part into it then every user with access to your site can use it. There is a centralize place where administrator can deploy those applications and give access to them. This place is called Tenant App catalog. Basically, this is a site collection that has been designed to host web parts and related resources. However, you may want to deploy your custom application only to a specific site collection. Instead of using the Tenant Catalog Site, you will need to create a Site Collection App Catalog in the site collection of your choice. To do so, you will need to run the following PowerShell command: Add-SPOSiteCollectionAppCatalog Then deploy your App like you would in the App Tenant Catalog.  Keep in mind    This does not prevent your app to query other site collection....

When using third party web part or custom web part, there is a property named includeClientSideAssets that push resources to Client Site Assets library of the SharePoint App catalog site. Anytime a user is using one of those web parts, he will retrieve resources from this centralized area. This Client site assets library is hidden and is at least read-only for every member of your organization but it is not accessible to external user. As consequence external users are getting errors like below. [SPLoaderError.loadComponentError]: Failed to load component "544c1372-42df-47c3-94d6-017428cd2baf" (pnpSearchResultsWebPart).

A bit of context SharePoint News web part is a fantastic component provided by Microsoft that allows to displays news using multiple layouts. News may be from the current site, some selected sites or recommended sites. These are great options because sometime, you may have your intranet that displays your corporate news and have displayed news from another site, let's say HR site that want to give information about coming Christmas party. In the case that you have news from several sites, a news source tag is displayed over each news. Thanks to this tag, users know from where news come from.  If the news is from an organizational news site, SharePoint will highlight the source tag by styling it with color block .  Organizational news sites are sites that have been defined in your organization as authorities. In short, news from those sites can be considered as "Official". This way of showing source tag might be not desired. You will have to revoke the source site to th...
