Home Site is missing Global Navigation

Question

I have enabled a Home Site, but the global navigation does not show up. Does anyone know how to get it working? After a Home Site was setup, I was expecting this navigation piece to be visible somewhere, but it's nowhere to be seen.

Steps performed

• Enable Home site
• Waited for 1 hour

PowerShell script used

connect-SPOService -url https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.com
set-spohomesite -HomeSiteUrl https://contoso.sharepoint.com

Answer 1

As far as I know, capabilities of home site include:

1. Easily accessible from the SharePoint mobile app for Android and iOS
2. Search for the site is scoped to all sites within the organization
3. Automatically set up as an organization news site

Per my test there is also no "Global navigation settings" in my tenant(using targeted release), strangely I can't find any articles referred to this.

There may be some customization or new features that targeted release can not access, we suggest you raise a ticket from Microsoft.
