HUB Site Top navigation suddenly disappeared

I created a HUB site early last week.  It took the rest of the week for the global TOP link show up and even then, I was not able to add any additional links.  Only the default "home" link was availa...

I am having the same issue, after I switched my root with a hub communication site.
Changing browser doesn’t help and global admin also cannot see edit button on global navigation. I am an ootb administrator so Powershell is not an option. I don’t know what to do.

    I am experiencing the exact same thing after changing the root level into a HubSite-enabled Communication Site, the «edit» option on the global navigation bar is gone missing. I have verified that all sites are associated with the affected HubSite. Please advise.

      Want to make sure I understand the exact repro, so I have a few questions:

      1. Seems like your swapping your root site with a different comm site. Is the comm site a hub before the swap or afterwards?

      2. How was the comm site you're swapping to the root created?

      3. At the root previously was there another comm site or a classic team site?

      These details will help me track down the issue. Thanks so much for reporting this.

        It's not explicit in this thread but I am gathering that the auto-enabled top nav across the hub sites is geared to occur with specific configurations ..is that correct?  And please lmk if that is clearly laid out somewhere...or is this a glitch we are working through??  What I read portrays the top nav as common to all hub associated collections...and yet it's not there.  Is that only true to hubs that are also the root site?

        I see some info dealing with this here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint-ama/i-need-an-enterprise-landing-page/m-p/175135#M369 but not definitive replies...

        Now, I am able to manually embed a link in the top nav of my team-hub (without O365 groups) to associated sites, however navigation is not appearing out of the box .
