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!
MicrosoftThanks James-Brennan - a regression has resulted in several UI issues w/ this build. We have postponed and rolled-back until we can get fixes in place. I'll keep this list apprised of that progress. Apologies for the inconvenience - and thanks for your patience!
MicrosoftAdding Jeremy Coleman, MattyVx, bart_vermeersch, and Marc Wenning for notice - thanks all for the prompt reports. We've identified the issue and have paused/recalled the build to address before we roll any further. Thanks.
ssquires -- pleasantly surprised tonight as I tested to see if the by some change the navigation fix made it to our tenant already. Sure enough, it did, and................. it works perfectly! Publishing enabled at the root site and navigation propogates perfectly to all subsites.
That said, I needed to go into /_layouts/15/topnav.aspx and /_layouts/15/quiklnch.aspx on the top level and clear up some of the old links from when things were broken.Nice to have this working.... much better than running a powershell script to fix all sites/sub-sites..... thanks!
The one problem I have run into is that links in global nav dropdowns (second level) just flat out don't work on modern document libraries. Click, nothing, click, nothing.......
@Sean Squires -- you're killin us! So close..... :)
Did you manage to fix this? I'm having the same problem. The second level of Global Nav now only works for me on the top level Site, but the items aren't clickable on Subsites.
Was able to fix it on the top level Site by going to _layouts/15/topnav.aspx, adding an item and then removing it. Tried fixing it for Subsites by going to _layouts/15/topnav.aspx and disabling/enabling inheritance, but no luck. Wouldn't mind rebuilding the Global Nav, but I don't see any way to add a submenu, this seems to only work for the new quicklaunch.
