Reindexed SharePoint Communication Site

Hi, I reindexed a SharePoint communication site and after doing so, it appeared to have edited the site's navigation. An entire drop-down with 3 pages as sub-links was removed. However, I'm not sure if it was the reindex that changed the navigation, or if it was a coincidence and a site member made the change. 

 

Can anyone please explain how a site reindex could effect a site's navigation?

 

Also, do site navigations have version history, similar to items in a SharePoint list? If so, where can this be accessed? Would it be somewhere in the site settings?

  • So Site navigation can be abit buggy sometimes, have you tried with another browser and clearing the cache ?

      Hi, thanks for your response. The drop-down was manually added back in before I could try this.

    I don't think site search re-indexing will cause any issues with the site navigation as those are not related features - but cannot confirm with 100% confidence for the issue you are facing.

     

    Also, site navigation do not store any version history like lists/libraries.
