Multiple levels of hub-sites do not affect hub site navigation & search

We have 3 site:-

  1. Root site @ /
  2. Departments site @ /sites/Departments
  3. HR site @ /sites/HR

And we defined the following hub site settings:-

  1. Register Root & Departments sites as hub sites.
  2. Define Root as the hub site for Departments
  3. Define Departments as the hub site for HR

but we got wired results:-

inside the HR site >> we only got the hub navigation for the Departments site and not for both Root and Dept (since Root is the hub for Dept), as follow:-

 

 

 

so how we can fix this issue and show the 2 Hub sites navigations inside the HR site?

Thanks

    john john This is by design in SharePoint. Hub sites do not allow navigation to be inherited down multiple levels of hubs. A SharePoint site inherits only one hub navigation from it's direct parent hub site.
