Link Targeting: Show Quick Links to Specific Microsoft 365 Groups

Available in Quick Links Plus – Version February 25, 2025

You can now display specific quick links only to members of selected Microsoft 365 Groups. This allows for more personalized and secure content visibility on your SharePoint pages.

Before You Begin

Please ask your Microsoft 365 administrator to confirm that the proper permissions have been granted.

They can follow this guide:
Grant Quick Links Plus permission to target links to specific M365 Groups

How to Create Microsoft 365 Groups

• M365 Groups can be created manually via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
• If you’ve created a Team Site, SharePoint automatically generates M365 Groups for Site Members and Site Owners.

Example:
If you’ve created a Team Site called “HR Site”, you’ll see a group named “HR Site Members”. This group is automatically generated and can be used for link targeting..

Targeting Links to a Specific Group

1. Add or edit a Quick Link using Quick Links Plus.
2. In the targeting section, search for the M365 Group name (e.g., HR Site Members).
3. Select the group from the list.
   
   

Done!

Once you save the page, your selected links will only be visible to people in the specified group(s).

Want to Remove Targeting?

Simply clear the group name(s) from the text box. This will make the link visible to everyone.

Save Styles as Template

Available in Quick Links Plus – Version April 23, 2025

You can fully customize the Quick Links Plus web part — apply your corporate fonts, colors, and styles — and save those settings as a template with just one click.

Go to web part properties under the Save Settings section, and click Save Current Settings as Template.

From now on, any new Quick Links Plus web part will automatically use your saved style settings as the default.

You can always tweak styles if needed–applying a template will not restrict your options, you simply have a better starting point.
