Structured Navigation (Publishing) not supported on "Modern" Sites/Pages/Lists/Libraries
Brent Ellis (and others) - good news! We're finally pushing out a fix to support structured and managed navigation on modern pages/apps in classic sites.
With this update, if you have enabled publishing on a classic team site, your structured or managed navigation nodes will now render correctly in the modern pages (both global and current navigation), including any scoped or audience-targeted links. We haven’t pulled all the classic settings into the modern panels yet, so when you need to edit the navigation nodes the edit link will direct you back to the classic settings page (/areanavigationsettings.aspx).
We hope this unblocks folks who have been eager to move to the modern UX. Do try it out let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!
ssquires does the structured navigation on a Classic site with modern pages and libraries uses the same techniques to retrieve the navigation? So does it use object cache, etc. and does not perform well with larger structures? Can we also expect this structured navigation on Modern sites too?
Thanks in advance.
MicrosoftHi Robert Schouten - yes, it's currently using the same nav provider (the work we did earlier this year was effectively to ensure the modern control behaved similarly to classic one for consistency on those classic sites where publishing infra feature was enabled) - so it will be bound by the same functionality and limitations. As for support on modern sites - yes, something we are looking into, but no specifics I can share at this time. Thanks.
