UPDATE: Support for Structured/Managed Navigation enabled on Modern Pages in Classic Team Sites
Hi Peter Mcdermott - if you have sufficient permissions you should see an inline edit button that allows you to add, move, and group navigation links. From the pages library there's also an option in the context menu to add to the navigation. Take a look at this article for more details: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Customize-the-navigation-on-your-SharePoint-site-3cd61ae7-a9ed-4e1e-bf6d-4655f0bf25ca?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US (let us know if you have other questions). Thanks!
ssquires, thank you for the link. This bullet point addressed my concern:
"In SharePoint Online, you can only customize the left-hand menu on a team site at this time unless you are in classic mode."

Of course - and yes, missed your note that you were looking to edit horizontal. In modern team we're moving to a left, vertical nav only - but will materialize the classic horizontal nav if you have subsites. You can, of course, continue to edit the toplink nav bar directly, but only through classic settings/page. Thanks.- guillaume marchalOct 10, 2017Copper Contributor
Hi,
Today the top link bar (global navigation) is gone on modern experience page.
We have a site collection with a lot of classic team sites. Publishing feature activated on this site collection, and a few subsites.
Some sites use classic page, and some sites use modern page -> with this one, the top link bar is gone.
I'm not the only one : https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/Anybody-else-s-top-link-bar-in-Modern-experience-disappear/m-p/114750
There is a regression with the last update ?
Thanks

ssquires, The problem I'm having sounds similar, but not quite the same as anyone here.
I'm using Managed Metadata navigation. On classic pages, both the level-1 and level-2 terms are working fine:
Level-1 term: http://siteurl.com/docLibrary (correct)
Level-2 term: http://siteurl.com/docLibrary/category1 (correct)
On modern pages, my level-1 term continues to work fine, but my level-2 term become corrupt and duplicate the level-2 term in place of the level-1 term, which breaks the URL and results in a 404 page not found error:
Level-1 term: http://siteurl.com/docLibrary (correct)
Level-2 term: http://siteurl.com/category1/category1 (incorrect - 404 page not found)
So, for reasons I can't explain, my level-1 term is dropped and the Level-2 term is duplicated on the Modern pages, but works fine on the classic pages. The fact that it works fine on classic pages but not on modern pages propted me to post it on this forum.
Thanks!
