App missing from Site Contents Page, Can't get to Classic view

Question

Looking for help!&nbsp;We are working in a Communications Site that has two custom apps installed.&nbsp; In the Site Contents page, however, it is only showing one of them duplicated.&nbsp; I wanted to go into Classic Mode to see if it showed the same thing, but in a Communication Site, there is no longer a left navigation and thus there is no way to go into classic mode for the Site Contents page in order to troubleshoot.&nbsp;Has anyone else run into this?&nbsp; How can I get to the Classic view of&nbsp;the site contents?&nbsp; Or at least have a different view of the apps installed?&nbsp;Haven't tried&nbsp;PowerShell.&nbsp; Will check that next :-).&nbsp;Thanks,Mary

Okay, got it.&nbsp; I had forgotten about the "classic" vs. "modern" cookie.&nbsp; If you need to get back to the classic mode in a communication site:&nbsp;Open a debugging console while viewing the page.Execute this via the command line:javascript:document.cookie = "splnu = 0; path=/"Refresh the page.&nbsp; If the "/" path doesn't work, try a relative path to your site.The key is the "splnu" cookie value of 0.&nbsp;

Nope.&nbsp; Didn't work.&nbsp; I still do not get a left navigation for the&nbsp;modern view of the Site Contents page.&nbsp; But I don't really need the left navigation.&nbsp;except to access the "Return to Classic SharePoint" link at the bottom of the left navigation in modern sites.&nbsp; And I only need to return to Classic mode temporarily to fix the Apps that are installed.&nbsp;

Click the cog wheel on top right corner and&nbsp; Change the look , Update Site Layout From Oslo master page to Seattle and my left navigation is back on Communication Site for Site Contents and Documents.

Hmm.&nbsp; When I click change the look in a Modern Site (including a Communication Site), I get the "Modern" change the look.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is no option to change the layout.&nbsp; If I click the link to go to the&nbsp;Classic Change the look, the Site Layout is already set to Seattle.&nbsp; But the Site Contents has no left nav.&nbsp; It is displayed across the top without the option to go to "Classic":&nbsp;&nbsp;
