I am building a new intranet in sharepoint online modern and honestly, the lack of options is frustrating. I have a resources site where certain colleagues will manage and update their intranet documents; it's not meant for public view. I have built a contacts page on the resources site using the 'people' webpart However, when I embed the people page on the main site, the embed webpart insists on displaying the full, clickable URL through to the resources site, which is not meant to be accessible to intranet readers. This structure was provided by an award winning sharepoint consultant. Frankly I am overall very disappointed by the entire experience, specifically lack of options.

Hi,

I work in a large group of companies and using O365 SharePoint online. We have an issue in Quick Links web parts. If I correct, there is no permission for quick links, isn't it? But we want to add permission to quick links that are created in Hub site.

Scenario:
There are a number of groups of companies and have each SharePoint site and it connected with Hub site. Hub site could be displayed all employees to their own access permission. Altogether there are over 20+ quick links(for each company there are 9+ icon links) and want to grant permission on their level. It looks complicated, right? Hope you understand my scenario.

If I can add a list with quick links, it could be easy to manage each company level permission grant. If anyone has a better idea for this please let me know.

Thanks & Regards

I love that we've increased the hub site limit to 2000, but I fear that this is not enough for my organization. We are a project-based company and each project has 10-50 partners working on it - from a flat perspective each partner company will have their own site because they will be added to an M365 Group (so we may as well take advantage of the backend site.

Each of those sites needs to be connected to a Project hub site. We easily have 300-400 concurrent multi-year projects, so 2,000 hubs could quickly be exhausted...particularly when combined with the non-project hubs we will need.

I know this will seem like I want to return to the old sub-sites hierarchical model, but we do still have users who pay attention to their browser address bar when they are trying to understand how a page fits into the overall structure of an intranet or portal.
While Hub site navigation (sort of) allows us to visually reflect the relationship of a site to its 'parent' hub, there's nothing in site collection addresses that provide this visual cue.

I say 'sort of', because when you are on a site that is related to a hub, there is no state change to the hub navigation link for the 'active' site.

We still have many users who rely on these types of visual cues to help them understand the context of the content they are consuming and where else they might go on a site if they haven't found what they are looking for. Related to this is the absence of breadcrumbs (out of the box) which really annoys me.

These things are also conventional design patterns that have been in place for 20 plus years. My gut tells me we should not be throwing these away so lightly.

I recognise my request may be a bit tricky to achieve in the multi-site collection approach, but I live by the philosophy of 'If you don't ask, you don't get'

This is a change request on how the hub site mega menu aligns when it appears after you hover over a top level menu item in the hub site mega menu.

When the mega menu appears it aligns directly under the top level menu item in the hub site navigation bar. Top level menu items are added from the left to the right and as you add more items you get less and less space to see your mega menu because of the alignment directly under the top level menu item.

My request is to NOT align the mega menu directly under the top level menu item but instead center each mega menu under the entire hub site navigation bar. This will make each mega menu that appears when you hover over the top level hub site navigation bar menu item have the same amount of space for links. I think it will also add uniformity to each mega menu.
