Top Navigation bar disappeared in jira cloud

[David Lee]

I am using the Jira Cloud version, but the top navigation bar is missing. All I have is one long search bar.

Hello. The top navigation is missing for a second time, making it impossible to use Jira efficiently and is a horrible user experience. How can I quickly restore the top navigation bar?

This is getting ridiculous!
Besides the constant popups, the icons that move right when you go to click on them, and then constantly moving navigation elements right in the middle of working prjects. It's like Attlasian doesn't want you to be effeicent at your job, they want you to master their ever changing playground.

This is a tool for work! Not some play website we are all going to for fun.

@David Lee It is expected!

Atlassian is rolling out their new navigation approach, and it seems your site received it now. Note that the items in the top bar have been moved to the left bar!

Thanks! I am just using the program for the first time and all of their training videos have it at the top, so I was completely lost. I will review this a hopefully make sense of everything.

:( 

WHY?

The LEFT side menu is project specific, the top lets me navigate between projects. Now is it one big messy menu with much more menu diving...

I found the settings in labs to bring it back. I hope this is not a permanent change that will be forced on us!

Hi @Don K where in labs is the setting to bring the top nav back (click by click, using "-->"), please?

I am trying to follow along in a LinkedIn learning course that has the top nav and I do not.

As a result, I am unable to take the course.

This is maddening!

Thanks,

It was this setting :

New navigation

The new navigation is customizable, offers a new look and feel, and makes moving between work more efficient.
