Anybody else's top link bar in Modern experience disappear?
Came into work this morning to discover my tenant no longer has access to the Top Link Bar in our SharePoint sites while using the Modern experience. Has anyone else encountered this?
*Edit* This appears to have affected sites with Publishing enabled. Top link bar isn't visible while using any app or Pages. Site Collections started Classic but are mostly Modern at this point. Hasn't been an issue ever.
Thanks for the confirmations! This should be fully resolved now, if you are still seeing issues make sure you do a hard refresh on the page . Ctrl+F5

- June 2021 and this just happened to me in a modern SPO communications site that is a hub! I searched and searched and there was no way to get to the fix in site settings because they hid the menu you need! Why? Anyway the fix is to slap /_layouts/15/navoptions.aspx on your sites/sitename URL and then click the show quick launch radio button.
I have the same problem with Edge Dev but not with IE11 and Edge for a month. No problem with Edge Dev on my professional PC. Strange!
- I know this is an old post but one of my customers is having this issue. They are using the root SharePoint site collection. If they use the basic Wiki Page (classic) then the Top Nav shows. If they create a Site Page (modern) then you can't see the Top Nav. Any ideas?
I am experiencing the same issue. Global navigation is displaying in the classic mode but not available in the modern view, modern page. Any information will be helpful.

Hi April,
I'm not aware of any ongoing issues for this, if you have the tenant details feel free to PM me that information but i'd suggest having them open a support case as well so we can fully investigate.
Regards,
SamSam Larson This issue was just brought to my attention by one of my end users. I know this original thread was from a year ago, however it seems to have come back (?). I have a print screen of what the site looked like when they came in (only 1 link on top navigation ribbon) and the second screen show that if you edit the navigation ribbon and add an item, the rest of the links show up. It only stays this way until you refresh the page.
Thanks!

This issue should now be resolved!
- While I can see the navigation above pages, I can't see it above libraries/lists. I will wait a little longer and see if it might be resolved then.
- Good news all, my tech guy from Office 365 Support was able to reproduce the issue, and the issue's been escalated to the SharePoint engineers. No confirmed fix date, but it's on Microsoft's radar for sure now.
Thanks for chipping in, everybody! Hopefully one of us will get a ticket/forum response from Microsoft soon on this.
- It's a glitch. I got around it by going into classic mode and clicking on 'Edit links' in the Top navigation bar, then manually adding the Top Level site and put it at the start of the bar.
This will then show up back in the Modern Pages in the top left where it should be.
Hope that helps!- Didn't work for me, but I think I know what phenomenon you're referring to. There is a circumstance where the top-level site doesn't like to show itself automatically in the Modern experience, but what we're getting is no visibility of the top link bar whatsoever, not just the link to the top-level site.
We are experiencing the same issue with the Modern experience.
Good Afternoon Everyone...
Glad to have come accross this post, i have 2 Clients who have the exact same issue.
Tennant 1 - The use publishing and have a custom page layout and custom HTML Nav so the issue is not effecting there top level site due to the way they use sharepoint however the modern lists and libraries have no top link bar.
Tennant 2 - Use Modern Site Pages and Lists and Libraries but the navigation has gone completly from all areas using Modern. Classic seems fine but they are not using this so this is a big concern for this client.
Tennent 3 - My own tennant i use modern sharepoint in a non publishing site and use modern pages, libraries and lists and works ok, I tested using a new Site Collection with Publishing on and the navigation for sites on the modern pages appears ok for me but again lists and libraries in modern experience dont show the navigation.
So a known issue now with 2 clients including myself and no further forward to getting a reply other than looking at the HTML and there is a difference in the ones working and not working as you can see below...
NAvigation not working HTML
<div class="ms-compositeHeader-topWrapper noNav ms-hiddenMdDown" data-reactid=".2.0.3"></div>
Navigation Working HTML
<div class="ms-compositeHeader-topWrapper ms-hiddenMdDown"> there is more within this Div as it works.
Any input would be great as i have been scratching my head all day but this was working fine yesterday morning and last week as i was building this and teaching this.

I also have this problem. Hard to believe they don't have a ticket opened yet.
Hi, same situation for my customer in Italy.
Modern Team sites, modern pages affected.
Michele
Same problem here. With publishing enabled on the sites collection. For us, it's everywhere, pages, Library and subsites.
And no, it's not a Modern Team site, it's a classic one. Saw that : https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/UPDATE-Support-for-Structured-Managed-Navigation-enabled-on/m-p/58387#M5636 but doesn't help us.
Any advices ?
I should clarify my own situation then--we don't use Modern Team sites, rather Classic sites with all Modern parts (and pages) where possible.
