Introducing a SharePoint app bar that features global navigation

Microsoft is introducing a SharePoint app bar in SharePoint online that will feature global navigation in your SharePoint modern communication and team sites.

 

The SharePoint app bar brings a consistent navigation experience to every site on your intranet, featuring quick access to important sites across the organization with global navigation, personally relevant sites, news feed and the files.

Enabling and customizing global navigation in SharePoint requires a home site.

    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

  • This is now visible to some users in European Standard Release tenant. We have multiple users in Targeted Release mode, some are able to see this and some not. I am the admin who would like to configure this before launch and my account is in Targeted Release mode, but still I am not able to see this. Are anyone else experiencing this?

      Microsoft started releasing this feature recently to targeted release tenants. It is not rolled out completely and may take some time (took up to 24 hours for some users) to work properly on your tenant after it starts appearing on SharePoint sites.

       

      I think you have to wait until it shows up for you on your tenant or you can raise a support ticket with Microsoft from admin center.

        This showed up in my tenant on 3/9 for user accounts but not for the global admin or SharePoint admin accounts. It's been more than 48 hours and still no admin accessibility which is a little frustrating as I'd like to get this configured.
        Meh.. MS strikes again..
