Question details

The user is looking for a way to hide or modify the behavior of the 'See All' link displayed in the SharePoint Highlighted Content web part.

How to Hide or Customize the See All Link in SharePoint Highlighted Content

Product: SharePoint Online
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Customizing the visual appearance and navigation behavior of the Highlighted Content web part on a modern SharePoint page.
Observed behavior: SharePoint Online does not provide any built-in configuration or toggle to natively hide, remove, or customize the 'See All' link in this web part.

Before you start

Verify that you have Site Owner or Site Member permissions, as you will need appropriate rights to edit pages and test any potential customizations.

Solution 1

Acknowledge the Native Limitation and Submit Feedback

Since there is no built-in toggle to disable the 'See All' link, the official Microsoft recommendation is to submit a feature request.

Modern SharePoint pages are strictly controlled by Microsoft's design language, meaning you cannot easily inject custom CSS or scripts to hide default web part elements like the 'See All' link.

To push for this feature in future updates, submitting direct feedback to the development team is the best administrative approach.

Navigate to the Feedback Portal

Open your web browser and go to the official Microsoft SharePoint Feedback Portal.

Submit your request

Log in with your Microsoft account, search to see if a similar request exists, and either upvote it or click 'Send Feedback' to detail your need to hide the Highlighted Content 'See All' link.

No immediate fix: This step will not immediately remove the link from your site, but it registers the business need with Microsoft's product team.

Solution 2Recommended

Develop a Custom Web Part using SharePoint Framework (SPFx)

For organizations that strictly require this customization, developing a custom web part mimicking the Highlighted Content via SPFx is the only fully supported technical workaround.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use modern Script Editor web parts to hide the See All link with CSS?

While third-party Modern Script Editor web parts exist that allow CSS injection (which could target and hide the link class), Microsoft does not officially support injecting custom CSS into modern pages as DOM structures frequently change and can break your overrides.

When does the 'See All' link typically appear in the Highlighted Content web part?

The link generally appears when the number of documents or items returned by the web part's query exceeds the display limit you have configured in the web part settings.

What is SharePoint Framework (SPFx)?

SharePoint Framework is a page and web part model that provides full support for client-side SharePoint development, allowing developers to create custom features and web parts using modern web technologies like React and TypeScript.

Is it possible to customize where the 'See All' link redirects?

No, SharePoint Online does not currently offer a way to customize the destination URL of the 'See All' link natively. It automatically redirects to a system-generated view of the queried items.
