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!

1. Quick launch links for modern pages are setup at /_layouts/15/quiklnch.aspx. If publishing is turned on, _layouts/15/AreaNavigationSettings.aspx nav does not apply to modern pages. It applies only to classic pages.
2. Top nav for modern pages is setup at _layouts/15/topnav.aspx. For sub sites, top nav is inheritance settings are setup at _layouts/15/topnav.aspx
3. Top nav links on modern pages open in new window. But quick launch opens in same window.
Thats the problem we need the _layouts/15/AreaNavigationSettings.aspx to work on Modern Pages with publishing enabled. Hopefully that is where they are going with all this. So far everything in the navigation settings is working for me, except for the hidden pages are showing. So its getting better than it was.
