Menu not updating
Hi, what is wrong with the menus in SharePoint? The changes only show on the computer I am using for editing the menu. This is the case for both "website menus" as well as hub site menus. It has been...

Go to your site and select Settings, then select Site information. At the bottom, select View all site settings
Under the Look and Feel heading, select Navigation.
Scroll to the Structural Navigation: Refresh Cache section and click Refresh.

That setting is not available for modern communications sites as that setting is for old classic publishing navigation. Is this really verified solution for modern sites with hub navigation?
- JC_SentinJan 25, 2022Copper ContributorYou may open the Navigation page in Modern comms site by appending it to the url - _layouts/15/AreaNavigationSettings.aspx
- Irene_Lappalainen225Feb 04, 2022Brass ContributorI am aware of that _layout page, but as stated that setting in the _layouts/15/AreaNavigationSettings.aspx is for structural navigation which is old classic publishing navigation. Actually next to that setting you can find microsofts "more information" link which will lead you to article that states "Structural navigation is an out-of-the-box solution for SharePoint sites with publishing enabled". You really should not be using that old navigation anymore and should not enable that and that is reason why we cant access that _layout page from site settings anymore. I really doubt that setting will fix modern hub site cache problem.
Instead I will try out to change the hub site navigation layout from megameny to css and check if that does the trick. I cannot advice my customers to use that but in some really bad situations that might be something we can do.- JaHNov 22, 2022Brass ContributorIncorrect. This is the site navigation settings which controls much more than the structural navigation provider, here you can select any navigation provider, like managed metadata provider and configure navigation settings wider than just a single provider. It is where site navigation settings are configured. Just because it is not yet "modernised" does not mean it is a classic only feature. Keep in mind what Microsoft calls "modern" has little to do with what is modern, and more than often because it costs money.

Ok, I really don't know any other method. I use the classic mode for my startpage due to some compatiability issues, but at the bottom of the left navigation menu (on page with modern type) there is a "Edit" button that gets you to the same settings-page where the "Update" button is.
Note that this is just from my own experience and how it looks for me. I am in no way an expert on Sharepoint, on the contrary, I'm very much a novice that just trial-and-errored my way to find this.
