This is true now more so than ever. With Office 365 Groups and Modern SharePoint sites,\u00a0the days of being able to get away with a single site collection and\u00a0a\u00a0myriad subsites\u00a0are officially over (and it was a terrible idea to begin with). We want to have distinct buckets for each\u00a0\u00a0collaboration and communication space,\u00a0that properly leverages\u00a0the tools in the\u00a0\u00a0Office 365 Ecosystem (Teams, Planner etc.).\u00a0\u00a0Now more than ever\u00a0with SharePoint Modern sites we\u00a0can put together a gorgeous, effective Intranet or Portal in SharePoint with\u00a0\u00a0minimal\u00a0customization.\u00a0However,\u00a0after 7 versions of SharePoint spanning close to 20 years, there is still one fundamental piece missing. You cannot create navigation that spans across\u00a0all of\u00a0these sites without writing custom code. Without this\u00a0integral\u00a0piece these logical buckets of content\u00a0become silos, users become lost and unable to find what they need, and SharePoint adoption suffers becoming \u201cthat thing nobody uses\u201d.\u00a0While we are aware of Hub Sites coming soon\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0from what we\u2019ve seen so far,\u00a0we don\u2019t believe this will address the problem entirely.<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve solved this problem\u00a0in\u00a0different ways over the years\u00a0through\u00a0custom\u00a0MasterPages, Delegate\u00a0Controls,\u00a0\u00a0Client\u00a0Side Embedding, Custom Actions,\u00a0and finally with the SharePoint Framework Application Customizers. Masthead uses the SharePoint Framework for Modern Sites,\u00a0and Custom Actions for Classic Sites to create a seamless navigation experience that\u2019s ready for the\u00a0ever-evolving\u00a0world of SharePoint online. In addition,\u00a0our visual\u00a0mega menu\u00a0designer and Masthead Installer allow you to easily manage your navigation content.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We look forward to gathering feedback as we enter the Public Preview phase, especially\u00a0from\u00a0the SharePoint Community.
