    Once you registered for hubsite please associate and join sites to hub by following below

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/features/hub-site/create-hub-site-with-powershell

     

    Then you can build a consistent navigation theme on top which associates all sites to top navigation and similar structure will appear on all associated sites.

     

    You can build a news roll up which rolls up content from all sites on the hub.

    Basically you have to leverage all modern webparts and design the hubsite to get below look and feel.

We have a dev/test tenant which is set to "first release" channel and I'm able to create and use hub sites there. In our production tenant, I'm seeing the same behavior as you. I can register a site as a hub site, but when I go to the site itself, there is no global nav at the top, nor is the "Hub site" option in the cog/gear menu. I ran the 'register-spohubsite' command again and got a message that the site is already a hub. I'm assuming that the necessary change was made to the site, but the GUI elements just aren't in our prod tenant yet.

    We do not see the option either. Is this fully released yet?
    i am confused as to what can be done on which tenants

      To be fair as Juan says hub sites are not yet in production only Targeted Release. Admins need to check over the complete message in the Message Center which typically indicates rollout schedule. In addition Microsoft folk such as Andy Haon for SharePoint flag the percentage rolled out to production on Twitter. This community frequently highlight to each other when features rollout and the Office 365 roadmap provides the long view. These are all resources which are easily accessible. We can only hope that one day we all get our ‘personalised’ Message Center. Until then some detective work is required.

      Via the support https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/features/hub-site/create-hub-site-with-powershell, it seems as though you need to associate sites with the Hub Site in order for the changes to take place. I'd go ahead and take the next step to see if this changes anything.

        I've done all that. I believe the issue I'm seeing is explained by the fact that the feature is not in GA yet. I was surprised to see the Powershell cmdlets executing successfully and hope that means the back end components are in place and the GUI bits will be there soon.
