Introduction

In this blog, I have discussed how to add, retrieve, and delete the SharePoint navigation menu using PowerShell. Follow the steps to get the result.

Steps

Get the Navigation Node
Add the Navigation
Remove/Delete the Navigation

In this blog, I added the coding of HubNavigation Menu but you can also Add, Retrieve and Delete the footer, Top and Hub Navigation menu from your site by running the script.

Get Top Navigation Node

Follow the below code to get the Hub Navigation menu.

$siteURL = Read - Host "Enter site url"
try {
Connect - PnPOnline - Url $siteURL - Credentials(Get - Credential)
#Get Hub Navigation and Its Sub Menu
$topNavsMenu = Get - PnPNavigationNode - Location TopNavigationBar | Select Title, Url, Id
foreach($topNav in $topNavsMenu) {
Write - Host "Top Navigaion : "
$topNav.Title
$node = Get - PnPNavigationNode - Id $topNav.Id
$childMenus = $node.Children | Select Title, Url, Id
if ($childMenus - ne $null) {
foreach($childMenus in $node.Children) {
Write - Host "SubNavigation : "
$childMenus.Title
$subNodeMenus = Get - PnPNavigationNode - Id $childMenus.Id
$subchilds = $subNodeMenus.Children | Select Title, Url, Id
if ($subchilds - ne $null) {
foreach($childMenus in $subchilds) {
Write - Host $childMenus.Title
}
}
}
}
}
} catch {}

It is retrieving Hub navigation top, sub & child menu.
