The SharePoint Hub Sites have finally been released and are available in general availability! That’s great news. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the latest update from Redmond. This is a brief blog post with a bit of a warning/heads-up about the navigation in a SharePoint Communication Site connected to a Hub. Let’s take a look!
The Hub navigation can be seen just under the SharePoint title. Our customer already had a navigation ready within the SharePoint Communication Site. I was expecting that this navigation was automatically promoted, because I assigned this site as Hub, to the Hub navigation. It’s not! Not a big deal but you have to realize this! Be ready to recreate the navigation for the Hub site.
I would also advice to remove the current Communication Site navigation because it just looks a bit ugly. In my opinion. This is different for Team Sites where the Quick Launch provides an additional navigation but on the left side of the screen. This is a better user experience because it’s not directly under the hub navigation.
It seems that the nodes in the Hub Site navigation MUST have an address and cannot be simple headings (without a link). Is everyone else seeing this or shall I keep Binging?
Thanks!
Just provide # as the address
