Hi,
Please check the 'Advanced Settings' in the 'List Settings' page, in the advanced settings check the last setting named 'Display this list using the new or classic experience?' and make sure you select the 'New Experience' which will be available to all the users. Also check whether the site contents of the test users are displaying in Modern or classic view, if it is in classic view you can always exit the classic view by clicking the 'Exit classic view mode' link on the left bottom below the left nav section.

Hi, Sudharsan K -

Thank you for the response. I verified that the New Experience option is selected within Advanced settings. I also logged in as the a test user and do not see "Site Contents" as an option from the cog wheel - is that what you advised to check?

There is also not a "Exit Classic Mode" link when logged in as this user. I did, however, see that link you're referring to when logged in as a different Test User but it would not actually do anything when I clicked the "Exit Classic Mode" link.

Thank you again,
M

    Hi,
    sorry mate, i couldn't find any solution to this. May be you can raise this as an issue with microsoft. Also on the below screenshot, i was not able to see the left nav, is it customized? Can you put the admin screenshot of the site.
