Modifying the top navigation

When you create a new communication site or register a site as a hub, SharePoint creates a navigation menu at the top of the site. This menu is called the global navigation menu. You can use this menu to help your site’s users quickly navigate to the different pages within your site or outside it.

In this recipe, we will learn how to modify the site’s global navigation menu.

Getting ready

Global navigation is only available for communications sites (or a communications site registered as a hub).

You can edit items in the global navigation menu as an owner or member of that site.
