Modern Team Site - Global navigation
The new team sites ( AKA Office 365 groups) are not production ready yet. So I wouldn't recommend them at the moment. They are only for first release.
Yes, but when you create a new Team Site, and activate the SP Server publishing infrastructure feature, you suddenly has a new link in the current navigation to a modern page called "News". But the page is empty, because the tenant has not yet got the news web part. When you then try to add a new page, a modern page is created. This is all happening in a Standard Release tenant. So some of the new modern features seems to be in "production" already. And you already got the modern look of lists and libraries. It's not the best experience for end-user that the global navigation disappears. I think Microsoft should at least support the navigation option already available in SP, before rolling out the modern parts of team sites.
- This is a known issue (the News link appearing and not working) and last Microsoft message in regards of it was that they were working on a fix to remove thes link. You are right, some of the features are in "production", but you can disable new UI using controls provided by Microsoft
Yes, I know. But the new UI is great, so I will not turn it of. :smileyhappy: I feel the end-users miss a lot of good functionality if we disable the modern UI. By the way, I think I found one way to add the top level of the global navigation to the modern UI. If you have activated the SP server publishing infrastructure feature, the moder UI still using the settings form the "Top Link Bar"-settings (/_layouts/15/topnav.aspx). If you in the Navigation-settings (/_layouts/15/AreaNavigationSettings.aspx) select Sort Automatically, the first level of the global navigation is copied to the top link bar settings.
Hey Christian,
I am having the same issues. I have tried to activate the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure, but I am unable to do so. I believe the first step in the process is to activate SharePoint Server Publishing under Site Features, then SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure under Site Collection Features. I am unable to do both. If I am able to do what you did, I think my problems would be solved! Thoughts?
