SharePoint Navigation Sub Headings

Hi

 

Our site contains headings and subheadings on the navigation menu: 

 

I am now no longer able to edit, remove or add new links:

 

I have asked IT to check just in case it is a permissions issue and they have the same issue. Has anyone else experienced this or could advise why this might be happening and how I can resolve it please?

 

Thank you!

    I see what's going on, you likely have the Site Collection Publishing Feature enabled which is why it's shooting you to the old classic way to manage the links. Even with this, though, I can't replicate the issue. Are you in SharePoint Online? It could be your tenant is seeing the effects of some changes in this area. While I cannot confirm for sure, I would move away from this way of managing links except in cases of Classic Sites as you are going to lose out on new functionality (e.g., improved link translation just rolled out). 

     

    While it's not a recommendation I can make without an assessment (e.g., is there any data that is dependent on the Publishing Feature), disabling this SC feature should allow the navigation to revert to the modern experience:
