Do you want more control over your SharePoint team site’s navigation?
One size rarely fits all, and the new SharePoint Navigation Switcher will allow you to select the navigation layout that best suits you and your site.

Short version:
This feature update will bring you a new navigation option feature for SharePoint team sites. Team site owners will be able to switch the team site navigation orientation from vertical to horizontal and even turned off visibility completely. Due early to late November for most of us.

Details:
This feature update will bring you a new navigation option feature for SharePoint team sites. Team site owners will be able to switch the team site navigation orientation from vertical to horizontal. Additionally, site navigation visibility can be turned off completely.

This new navigation option allows site owners to customise their team site by changing navigation’s orientation and visibility to achieve a different look and feel, layouts, and alignment styles. The Mega menu style is only available for the horizontal orientation.

For SharePoint team sites, users will see a new option when you navigate to Settings Change the Look > Navigation. In the navigation panel, users can choose to show or hide the site navigation. If users decide to display the site navigation, then they’ll be able to choose either a vertical or horizontal orientation.



The Vertical option displays site navigation on the left of the site content. The Horizontal option displays site navigation on the top of the page just below the site header like on a SharePoint communication site.


Availability:
Targeted release (select users and entire org): mid-September to mid-October.

Normal release (most of us): early to late November.
