Left menu/submenu expand and/or collapse default behavior setting
In modern view sites, the current left menu/submenu default behavior for submenu items is set to collapsed (this was changed from expanded about a year ago). There should be a way to select the default left menu/submenu expansion and contraction behavior either at the menu level, or at the very least at the site level. The current behavior of collapsed hides much of the functional items available on the site, that is, unless users have expanded the left menu enough to where they have committed the menu structure to memory - a tiresome exercise.

I agree. Site owners should be given the option of having their modern site work with expanded or collapsed menus.
A further option is, at the very least, to keep the current menu selection open regardless of the overall behaviour. For example, if I expand the second group and click on a link in that sub-link group, when that page is rendered, the second top-level group should remain in an expanded state, even if the other groups are collapsed. This behaviour works perfectly on every Microsoft documentation site/page I have browsed to over the years, so it should be something they can implement in SharePoint.

Yes!
It is really odd the behavior when you click it, it collapses and you lose sight of them.
What a default behavior is that???
Please MS, improve it. -

In modern view sites, the current left menu/submenu default behavior for submenu items is set to collapsed, just like "Shrinking turtle".

Well, this suggestion is almost 2 years old now. But, the need for this feature is still high...

Agree, I want to set my Quick Launch to default to expanded so it opens this way, otherwise people miss what's on the menu and ignore the rest of the site!

Dear Team,
Please provide an option to change the default behavior from collapse to expand.
It is not only inconvenience to many non-tech business users, it is very hard for them to click on the left most arrow precisely to change expand/collapse behavior.
Generally those users click on the labels of 'List', 'Library' and Discussion' and this opens the Site Contents page and they stumbled upon. -

would very much like to see the ability to keep the node highlighted and open when you click on an item in the tree.

Please allow expanded or collapsed option rather than default to one.
