Hi All,
How can I set the navigation links that appear on the left hand side of SharePoint pages on a global basis?
Here is a screen grab of the links I mean. I want them to appear like this on all site pages.
Thanks all.
In order to do this across site collections, you would need to create managed navigation for the navigation. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/administration/overview-of-managed-navigation You’ll want to use “simple links” when configuring the term navigation.
When creating the terms in the global term set, you’ll have access to them across your site collections.
On your root site collection, go to Site Settings, Navigation and select Managed Navigation for your Current Navigation.
If you are only working within 1 site collection, you can create the navigation elements like you currently have.
On your sub sites, go to Site Settings -> Navigation. Under current navigation select “Display the same navigation items as the parent”. This will inherit the root sites navigation elements on your sub sites.
I second Beau’s advice for the same 🙂 Term store will do the trick 🙂
Hi, @mr_m_cox.
The answer may depend on what Site collection features.
If SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure is active, you can use the answer from Chanakya.
If not, then, click Quick Launch under Look and Feel of Site Settings.
You could manage that in the site navigation itself. Under Site Settings -> Look and Feel -> Navgation, you can configure to show pages & subsites or you can use the “Structural Navigation” section to have custom menus added. This would make the left navigation visible across your pages.
Thanks for the input @beau-Cameron
Just to be clear, what i am looking for is all pages within a single site, not across multiple site collections.
Same process?
Ah I see. I misread that. That unfortunately is determined by the page layout that the pages are using. Some page layouts do not include the local navigation in to their source. (in classic).
In Modern, the Team Site pages should always have the local nav, with the exception of Communication Sites.
