SharePoint Online - Structural navigation refresh cache missing

Question

Hi,

In my customer tenant under navigation settings the Structural Navigation: Caching is missing.
How can I activate this feature?
I updated the top navigation items, but the modern experience doesn't show the updated links.
They are any way to refresh cache via PowerShell?
I tried the following command in SharePoint Online Managemen Shell:
Get-SPOStructuralNavigationCacheSiteState
but I get an error: The term 'Get-SPOStructuralNavigationCacheSiteState' is not recognized as
the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Please help!

Thanks,
Mykie

Hi @Török, Nikoletta EXT

Whether this issue occurs in all site collections? Did the navigation cache settings exist before?

Please check the current navigation settings. You have to select Structural Navigation then you can enable and refresh navigation cache.

You could use following PowerShell as administrator to check whether the navigation caching setting is enabled or not. The commend:”Get-SPOStructuralNavigationCacheSiteState” is only check navigation cache state, but we can’t refresh cache by using PowerShell in the SharePoint online.

$AdminSiteURL="https://tenant-admin.sharepoint.com/"  
$SiteURL="site collection URL"  
$Cred = Get-Credential  
Connect-SPOService -URL $AdminSiteURL -Credential $Cred  
Get-SPOStructuralNavigationCacheSiteState -SiteUrl $SiteURL
