Remove Link from SharePoint Header

Brass Contributor

I have been tasked with figuring out how to remove the word 'Logisticts', circled in the image, from the SharePoint header. I have looked in and tried the 'Edit Links' but it wasn't available there.

To remove or modify a link such as "Logistics" from the SharePoint header, the method you use depends on whether you're using the classic SharePoint experience or the modern SharePoint experience. Here's a step-by-step guide for both scenarios:

Modern SharePoint Experience

In the modern SharePoint experience, the header often includes elements like the site logo, site name, and navigation links. If you want to remove a specific link from the header, you can do the following:

  1. Site Navigation Settings:
    • Go to your SharePoint site.
    • Click on the Settings gear icon (:gear:) in the upper right corner.
    • Select Site Information or Change the look (depending on your SharePoint version, this may vary).
    • Click on Navigation or Edit Links if available. This opens the navigation settings where you can manage links.
  2. Edit Header Links:
    • In the navigation settings, look for the option to Edit Links. Here you can manage the links in the navigation bar.
    • If you see the "Logistics" link listed, you can click the ellipsis (...) next to it and select Remove to delete it.
  3. Modern Site Header Customization (if the above steps don't work):
    • If you don’t see the link in the navigation settings, it might be part of a custom header or page layout. In this case, you might need to edit the page or use SharePoint Designer if the custom header was created using that tool.
    • Go to the page where the header appears.
    • Click on Edit to modify the page content.
    • Look for any web parts or custom HTML that might include the link and remove it from there.
  4. Using SharePoint Designer (Advanced Option):
    • Open SharePoint Designer and connect to your site.
    • Navigate to the Site Objects pane, and open the _catalogs > _catalogs > Custom Actions folder.
    • Look for custom actions or scripts that might be adding the "Logistics" link and modify or remove them as needed.

Classic SharePoint Experience

In the classic SharePoint experience, links in the header are often part of the master page or site settings. Here’s how to modify or remove them:

  1. Edit Page Links:
    • Go to your SharePoint site.
    • Click on the Settings gear icon (:gear:) in the upper right corner.
    • Select Site Settings.
    • Under Look and Feel, click Top link bar (or Quick Launch, depending on where the link is).
  2. Remove the Link:
    • Find the "Logistics" link in the list.
    • Select the link and click Delete to remove it.
  3. Edit the Master Page (Advanced):
    • Open SharePoint Designer and connect to your site.
    • Navigate to Site Objects > _catalogs > _catalogs > Templates > Master Pages.
    • Open the default master page (or the master page being used) in code view.
    • Look for any <asp:Menu> or <ul> elements that might contain the "Logistics" link and remove or comment out the corresponding code.
    • Save your changes and check your site to ensure the link has been removed.
  4. Check Custom Actions:
    • In SharePoint Designer, check under Site Objects > _catalogs > _catalogs > Custom Actions for any custom actions that might add the "Logistics" link.
    • Edit or remove any custom actions that include this link.

Additional Tips

  • Check Permissions: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to edit the site settings or master page.
  • Backup Changes: Before making changes to master pages or custom actions, it's a good idea to backup the current settings.

By following these steps, you should be able to remove the "Logistics" link from your SharePoint header. If the link is part of a custom header or third-party solution, you might need to consult with the person or team who configured it for specific instructions.
