Modern experience - Quick Launch displaying Pages link?

I noticed today on document libraries with the new style that a link called Pages has been added to the Quick Launch. Like the Recycle Bin link it cannot be removed. My question is, how can I remove this link?

  • I have multiple sites when I change the Quick Links it changes for all is it possible to edit it individually ?

    Are you seeing recently modified pages in the quick launch? If so, you can add a content editor web part to your pages with the following code to hide it: .ms-quicklaunchouter{ display: none; }

    You can't right now but I bet they will add that feature in based on our feedback.  I think they still have quite a few little settings to iron out before full launch.  I don't even think you can remove the quick launch at all right now either.

      Things like this make me so annoyed with Microsoft's approach to updates. It just appears one day with no way of removing it or explanation. But I have to explain it to my users. Especially annoying on one site where the Site Pages library doesn't exist so it's a broken link..

        I am definitely sharing your frustration. Due to the lack of consistency in the Modern Experiences I have to turn it off completely as well. At the same time, I need to keep apprised of the changes so I have acquired a developer account only to find that initially it was on a different version than my tenant. After a week they ended up finally being upgraded to the same version. I started seeing some bugs on my Developer Test Site so I spun up another developer test account only to find that it is on yet another version ahead. Unfortunately they all still have the same issues (ie. Pages link in document library quick launch). It sure would be nice to know when these "Experiences" will become GA and stabilize so that I can test them. They have some great capabilities that I would like to offer my customers but I can't do that with a solution that seems to be so fragmented.

  • is it not possible to do it via site settings? could be that it is the new features we still revert to the classic view as we miss the functionality. Kr, Paul
