MicrosoftA fix for the issue of inability to edit the hub nav is rolling out now. As a workaround you can edit the hub nav from either the site content's page or any document library.
Melito , Hi.
I know it is an old issue... My new client has similar issue. I can't edit global navigation on the communication hub site, that was created 2 days ago. If I try to edit global navigation it takes me o the Navigation Setting page (https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/intranet/_layouts/15/AreaNavigationSettings.aspx).
Any workarounds offered in this post (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/HUB-Site-Top-navigation-suddenly-disappeared/m-p/191249#M17342) do not work.
I appreciate any advise. Thank you.
Melito I tried different things, and I think I'm OK now.
I suspect my issue started when I registered my hub site using SPO Admin, and not PowerShell. The registration through the SPO admin activated unnecessary features on the site collection. When I tried to disable publishing infrastructure I was getting an error.
I was able to resolve my issue by:
1. Unregistering my hub site using PowerShell
2. Registering it again using PowerShell (it still had non-modern navigation)
3. Removing infrastructure publishing feature from site collection
It took a little bit of time but after these steps eventually new modern navigation appears.
Thank you for your response and desire to help!

Also if you try to edit from the document library or site contents pages does that work? Thanks for your patience, this will help me track down the issue as I'm not able to reproduce from my side.
