I have users who like the easy navigation with the metadata navigation in SharePoint libraries. This is especially good for those with subsites. Users want to have shortcuts to be more efficient.
Now it seems like this shortcut is ost with the new UI. Look at the picture on the right side.
I like the new document experience but want to assist users with good shortcuts. Anyone who knows how to do the same in the new UI. And please let me do it without coding.
Another feature that is lost is the top navigation with drop-down menus. Anyone who knows how to solve this in the new UI?Â
Best regards,

Hi Hassan,
Sorry for late reply I have vacation as higher priority. I don´t see that your proposal is usable. My customer has to use Internet Explorer as they open libraries in File Explorer.
Your addon to Chrome does not solve the problem with metadata navigation in libraries, see the picture above.
Hi Ove,
To make navigation easy in SharePoint I created FlyView for SharePoint, a free chrome extension that creates a flyout site menu at the top of the sharepoint page you are visiting and doesn’t require any coding, the new look also affected FlyView but the good news is it has been fixed and I am releasing the update in the next few days (will automatically update the current chrome users so you can download now).

Hi,I thought you were using on premise. We are not using O365 at all anywhere, but a quick google show me this result.
is this helpful to you?
I am able to setup global navigation and it worked until Microsoft applied the new document UI for SharePoint Online.
My customers are using Metadata navigation on document libraries to drill down in subsites, document libraries and folders like they are able to do with file explorer. I am trying to get them to stop using file explorer and use the UI instead. This option is what the picture above is showing.
The feature is activated in library settings and worked until Microsoft launched the new document UI.
Is your SharePoint farm upgraded to SP 2013?
– You need to do bit of research on How quick launch navigation works in SharePoint. Can you please elaborate more on your requirement for “the metadata navigation in SharePoint libraries“
Another feature that is lost is the top navigation with drop-down menus.
– You need to do the fly outs on the top global navigation. there are few ways to do it. The easiest way is to change the settings in master page. This are the links you can follow:
