I am using OOTB news feed on my home page site.

I want to have this web part and only this web part on the page to have a scroll bar individual to itself.

I understand that there is a way to do this in contnt editor.. but most posts reference  earlier versions of sharepoint.. and do not seem to work.

I also understand there is a way to do this in the inbuilt webpart with css but so far have been unsuccessful.

have you a how too to accomplish?

Hi,

As I understand, you want to add a scrollbar in the newsfeed web part.

Please add a Content Editor web part under the Newsfeed web part and add the following CSS code as source:

<style type="text/css">

.ms-microfeed-threadsDiv

{

    height: 250px;

    overflow-y: auto;

    overflow-x: hidden;   

}

</style>

Here is an article for your reference:

Hi,

As I understand, you added a Content Editor web part and the code as source, but it didnt work.

First please make sure the Content Editor web part is under the Newsfeed not above it.

And I didnt add the code into HTML source directly. You can try my method:

Save the code as a .txt file and upload it into a document library. Then edit the Content Editor web part. Cope the URL of the .txt file in SP site and paste it into the Content Link box. Then apply and save it.

If it still doesnt work, please provide some screenshots about how you configure the Content Editor web part.

Best Regards,
