    You can disable the SharePoint app bar temporarily using PowerShell until October 31, 2021.

     

    To run the PowerShell commands you will need either Global administrator or SharePoint administrator privileges. Follow below steps:

    1. Download the latest version of SharePoint online PowerShell
    2. Then, run the following command with administrator privileges:

     

    Set-SPOTemporarilyDisableAppBar $true

Just another whacked out "feature" that annoys and destroys a good product for SMALL business. You know, the ones who don't have employees all over the planet. Global navigation...for an organization that has one SharePoint site. USELESS.

    lance-aughey AFAIK Global navigation is dependant on the existence of a Home Site. if you dont designate any site as Home Site the Global Navigation bar doesnt show up. If anyone knows different, please let us know.

      Hasse Edqvist I have made a Home site and there is a Home icon now on the Mobile SP app as well so I know it is all working as expected - however...no Global Navigation in the Settings, only the Hub Site Navigation. I have searched for weeks on this topic and can't see why the option does not exist when the Home site was clearly created successfully, it's not an associated Hub site the Hub site is the Home site, so everything was done accordingly.

        I have the same problem in my tenant. I have no global navigation option even though I have a working Home Site. I thought the app bar and Global Nav would be available for all beföre we got the Viva Connections app working in Teams.

      Hasse Edqvist No home site designated here and it showed up. I assume it will appear for everyone, and if there's no home site you get the awful SP home page mess instead.
