Image picker
built-in icon
Sets the icon shown next to the Sub Title. Appears for both Bar and Ticker.
Show Arrows
Toggle
off
Shows/hides carousel navigation arrows. Appears for both Bar and Ticker.
IMPORTANTKnown issue: on the Bar layout, 'Change sub title icon' and 'Show Arrows' currently appear twice in the pane (once with the label 'Select image', once with 'Select Icon') due to a duplicate-rendering bug. Both copies stay in sync since they're the same underlying setting — it's a visual duplication, not a functional problem.
Layout views
Bar (default) — icon + Sub Title, then an auto-playing carousel of news cards, with optional arrow navigation.
Ticker — a compact strip with a pulsing "live" indicator and auto-advancing headlines with dot navigation.

IMPORTANTKnown Issue: The Layouts and Alignment dropdowns always visually reset to their first option when you reopen the property pane, regardless of what's actually saved.
NOTEFixed (2026-07-22): the property pane previously failed to open at all — showing SharePoint's generic "select a web part to configure it" panel — the first time you added this web part to a page, before ever setting a title. It now opens correctly regardless of whether a title has been set yet.

STUBThe Query group ($filter, Order by, items per page — default 7 items, Order by options are blank / Display Name / User Principal Name) needs Microsoft Graph filter syntax for $filter, and requires Graph permissions to be approved. The Search Parameter group currently only offers 'None' or 'Search box' (default: Search box) — the 'Static'/'Dynamic data' options that would expose a raw query field are present in the code but disabled, not selectable today.

Color picker (shown only when event source is List)
none
Background color of the sync button.
NOTEAction Button and Button background color are only configurable when the event source is List. For the Shared Mailbox source, the per-event sync button still appears but always behaves as "Add to Outlook" with the default color; it does not appear at all for the Current User source.
Layout views
Classic (default) — title, optional date picker or 'See all' link, event list, and optional side calendar grid.
Enterprise Calendar — card-style layout with a section header and vertical stack of event cards, plus an optional side calendar grid.
NOTEFixed (2026-07-22): a round of fixes brought the Enterprise Calendar layout up to parity with Classic and corrected shared behavior across both layouts:
Event source correctness — the Classic layout no longer shows an incorrect "select a list" prompt when the event source is set to a Shared Mailbox or the current user's Outlook calendar (list selection only applies to the SharePoint List source).
"See all" / "Launch Master Calendar" links — in both layouts, these now correctly open an Outlook calendar deep link for the Shared Mailbox and Current User sources, instead of always assuming a SharePoint list link.
Faster loading — all three event sources now fetch only the events within the selected Filter Events window plus the currently visible calendar month, and browsing the mini calendar to a new month fetches just that month rather than reloading everything. This is a significant load-time improvement for SharePoint list sources with recurring events and for Outlook calendars with many events.
Calendar text Color — now correctly applied to the calendar day-number text in both Classic and Enterprise Calendar layouts (previously had no effect in either).
Hide overlay — now wired up in the Enterprise Calendar layout, matching Classic (previously had no effect there).
Filter events to the visible month — now correctly filters the event list to the visible month when navigating the calendar, in both layouts (previously the list would accumulate events across months regardless of this toggle).
Background color, Show Calendar, Show event icons — now correctly wired up in the Enterprise Calendar layout, matching Classic.
Action Button — the Enterprise Calendar layout's sync button now shows the correct label ("Add to Outlook" or "Download ICS") for the selected option, instead of always showing "+ Sync".
NOTEBackground color field label contains a typo but functions correctly.
STUBShared Mailbox and Current User Outlook sources require Microsoft Graph permissions approval.
