Hi. I have added my SharePoint Hubsite to the MS Teams main menu, as an App, using Viva Connections. This allows my users to access their SharePoint sites (where we keep most of our docs) direct from within Teams. The Hubsite tool bar contains links to all my team sites and their document libraries. Like so.... I've noticed that when I open a linked site's library from the Hubsite menu bar above, the hubsite navigation (usually - not always) disappears in the library screen, so that my users get marooned in a library.
When this happens the Hubsite button in the Teams Navigation bar also becomes inactive. And the Teams back arrow doesn't work either. Is this a bug? Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Thx

Hello @Victoria Symons
hmm, i can't reproduced your behavior, on my tenant (target release) it looks good and links to libraries in Viva Connections opens with an existing hub navigation.
Please check:
- Is your site, with the library, associated to the hub?
- How looks you library link in the hub navigation?
Use the link direct to your view:
/sites/DocumentStore/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx
not with view id:
/sites/DocumentStore/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?viewid=e5f10e08-a93e-417c-a961-2c779ee351c0
Thanks for feedback.

Hi Dave, Thanks for coming back to me.
All the sites shown are associated with the Hub. All the libraries are on the Hub associated sites.
The site links are all in this format
https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/Administration1
All the library links are in this format
https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/Administration1/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx
The Hub link in Teams is showing strange behaviour.
1. If I click on the Hubsite link when I first open up Teams, it is active and does take me to my Hubsite as expected. When I'm on the Hubsite homepage and click back on the Hubsite link in Teams I see the connected sites in the side menu like so... This I think is the expected behaviour.
2. At the next level, when I select a linked Team site, I often lose the Hubsite bar. This does not happen every time I open a site - but once it does - I can't get back to the Hub
3. At the next level, when I select a linked Team site libraries - same thing - there no hubsite tool bar or even indication as to which site you are on.
At this point the Hubsite button in Teams also becomes inactive, marooning the user where they are.
Moving between the Teams Apps on the Teams toolbar doesn't force a refresh either - so a library is a dead end for the user.
This rather makes the whole thing useless.
Thanks for your help, Vicki

Hello @Victoria Symons
absolutly agree, it's not the experience, that we, and the users, wish.
Do you use the default app?

Or have you created a custom app?
Best, Dave

Hello @Victoria Symons
can you try a link from your home site (to a library) and from a hub associated site (from a library too)?
