Hiding Quick Launch menu in SharePoint Online on all pages
Hi
In the Site Settings/Navigation Elements for a (modern) team site, I have disabled Quick Launch. On the front page this works as expected, but when I go to a document library or a list, the Quick Launch is still showing.
It this by design or a bug? Is it possible to hide the Quick Launch menu on all pages in the site?
Thanks
Jakob
Thanks for reporting this - I will follow up with engineering and get this fixed. This has always been a site-level setting, and it should continue to be, as Juan suggests.

Adding LincolnDeMaris...it might be by design or it might be a bug...to me if the setting is available in site settings, it should be applied no matter if we are on classic view or in the new one

Hello Lincoln,
Is there an update on this? On our SharePoint Online, I recently created a simple page using the new format. The quick launch shows on new pages in wide configuration, no matter the Enable setting. And when the page is in narrow configuration, the quick launch will not deploy, no matter the Enable setting. Then on Site Contents, the quick launch is shown in wide and is deployable in narrow.
Summary:
The enable setting seems to only update the old pages (like site settings).
The user-made pages seem to be impervious to deployable quick launch in narrow mode.
- Hi Jakob,
The quick launch is disabled if you view in the classic experience. However, as you point out, to me this is by design for modern look. For example, as recently "Pages" link appeared for enabling us to navigate to pages library to create site page. I guess its a case of one step forward and few steps backwards.
Thanks
