CEWP - Content Editor Web Part for Outlook

The Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) is a powerful tool in SharePoint that allows users to add custom HTML, JavaScript, and CSS code to a SharePoint page. However, it is not directly available in modern SharePoint pages, including SharePoint Online. Let’s explore some alternatives and how you can achieve similar functionality:

1. Modern SharePoint Pages:

   • In modern SharePoint, the CEWP is not available out of the box.
   • Instead, consider using other modern web parts or custom solutions to achieve your desired functionality.

2. Alternatives to CEWP:

   • While the CEWP is not directly available, you can use the following modern web parts to achieve similar results:
     • Script Editor Web Part (SEWP): Although not identical to the CEWP, the SEWP allows you to add custom JavaScript, CSS, and HTML to a modern page. Note that it requires enabling custom scripting for your site collection.
     • Embed Web Part: Use this web part to embed content from external sites or services (e.g., YouTube videos, Twitter feeds, etc.).
     • Markdown Web Part: If you need to format text using Markdown, this web part is a great choice.
     • Text Web Part: Easily add and format text on your page. While it doesn’t allow direct HTML editing like the CEWP, it’s a good alternative for adding rich text.
     • Custom SPFx Web Parts: If none of the out-of-the-box web parts meet your needs, consider creating custom web parts using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx).

3. Custom Solutions:

   • If you have specific requirements beyond what the available web parts offer, consider building custom solutions using SPFx.
   • Custom web parts can be tailored to your exact needs and can include HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

4. Considerations:

   • Always follow best practices for security and performance when adding custom code to SharePoint pages.
   • Test thoroughly to ensure compatibility with your environment and other web parts.

Remember that modern SharePoint emphasizes simplicity, responsiveness, and user-friendly experiences. While the CEWP is no longer directly available, explore the alternatives to achieve your desired outcomes
