Adding web part to vertical section

[Niax01]

Hi all,

I am creating pages programmatically from a Page Template and at the same time configuring and adding web parts to the same.
I am using this cmdlet.
Add-PnPWebPart -Page testpage.aspx -DefaultWebPartType "QuickLinks" -WebPartProperties $jsonProps -Section 1 -Column 1
I have one 2 column section and a Vertical section on the page and need to add my Quick Links web part to the Vertical section, but can't figure out how to.
I am not using Section 1 and Column 1 as in the example above, it's just for demonstration purpose, but shouldn't there be a value even for the vertical section?

Thank you!

/Nicklas

Did you end up figuring this one out @Niax01? In the same boat.

[Niax01]

No, unfortunately not. I had to visit all pages and manually move the web part to the vertical section.

Some news about it?

[Niax01]

No, I never came up with a way to do it.

You can run Get-PnpPage cmdlet to view the different sections on a page, like so:

$page = Get-PnPPage "Your-Page-Name.aspx"
$page.Sections[0]

This will output something like this:

Type                  : OneColumnVerticalSection
Order                 : 1
Columns               : {PnP.Core.Model.SharePoint.CanvasColumn, PnP.Core.Model.SharePoint.CanvasColumn}
Page                  : PnP.Core.Model.SharePoint.Page
Controls              : {ca496ec1-abed-4390-8833-7ea67bfdd787, 0f087d7f-520e-42b7-89c0-496aaf979d58,
                        7f718435-ee4d-431c-bdbf-9c4ff326f46e, c70391ea-0b10-4ee9-b2b4-006d3fcad0cd...}
DefaultColumn         : PnP.Core.Model.SharePoint.CanvasColumn
VerticalSectionColumn : PnP.Core.Model.SharePoint.CanvasColumn
ZoneEmphasis          : 0
Collapsible           : False
IsExpanded            : False
DisplayName           :
IconAlignment         :
ShowDividerLine       : False
SectionType           : 0

Notice the type and columns. In my case I had a one column layout in the top and the vertical section on the right. If you have a different layout with more columns that response will differ but it will be the same approach.

This means we can do the following to add a web part in that section:

Add-PnPPageWebPart -Page $Page -Component $Component -Section 1 -Column 2
