HUB Site Top navigation suddenly disappeared
Another Redmond shambles.
Top navigation links in hub sites and their child sites randomly disappearing and re-appearing.
For over a decade SP on-prem has had navigation providers able to deliver a comprehensive solution to hierarchy traversal UI / UX, along with the good ol' "Portal Uplink". And now MS re-invents the wheel in the most Billy Basic piece of functionality ever, and it doesn't even work.
And all those MVP Redmond brown-nosers were hollering "Hubba-Bubba-Lubba" in excitement at the announcement of Hub Sites!
Will they ever learn?

This is a bug that a fix is in progress of rolling out to you. I will provide an update once the fix is fully rolled out.
As a workaround, you can click on the + on the edit nav experience, then adding your links and clicking save.
Can you please explain what you mean by "As a workaround, you can click on the + on the edit nav experience". Or else advise me if being unable to edit the nav bar is a bug that will be fixed for everyone. I am completely unable to edit the nav bar on my hub site. I can see 'Add link' at the top but when I click on it and then add a link and a description and save it does nothing. I have waited days for something to appear with no luck. I've tried Settings > Hub site settings but there is nothing there about the navigation bar - just the hub site navigation name. I'm on Mac and have SharePoint admin permissions. thank you.
Wait I just figured it out, you can't use the New link window that pops up when clicking add link, that's the part that seems bugged. Click cancel, then click the + in the menu on the left, then add the link and it saves fine. Just Don't use the one that comes up when clicking Add link initially.
