This release will be available starting November 21 and affects several themes.

IMPORTANT: This release is only available for Office 365 and SharePoint 2019 Modern experience.

New Features

Office 365 (Modern)

  • You can now easily view the sensitivity label applied to a site collection directly within the BindTuning Settings. This feature is active by default in the Actions panel of BindTuning Settings.

Improvements

Office 365 (Modern)

  • Clicking the SharePoint "Focus Mode" button will now provide an even more expansive view by hiding the entire theme header. This includes the logo, site title, navigation, and other theme elements.

  • You can now use special tokens in the Logo and Page Title link URL settings to automatically generate relative URLs, providing greater flexibility for your site architecture:

    • Current site: Ideal for sub-sites within a site collection where you want the logo to link back to its specific site.

    • Site Collection: Useful when a theme is applied across a site collection and its sub-sites, and you want the logo to consistently link to the parent site collection.

    These tokens are particularly valuable for Hub sites and their associated sites, allowing you to configure consistent yet context-aware logo and page title links across your entire environment.

Fixes

Office 365 (Modern)

  • We've resolved the issues where the hub navigation sub-menu failed to appear in specific situations. It will now consistently work when:

    • Navigating to a search page.

    • Resizing the page to mobile resolutions.

    • Clicking the "Focus Mode" button.

    You can now expect reliable sub-menu functionality across various scenarios.

  • The navigation edit button now correctly appears for users with permissions on the current site, even in site collections associated with a Hub that inherit settings. This ensures authorized users can always access navigation editing features.

  • The Ribbon now consistently respects your predefined settings on the "Site Contents" page and will no longer default to a collapsed state.

Office 365 & SharePoint 2019 (modern experience)

fix

Fixed: Show navigation edit button to the user with permission in the current site.

The edit button was not showed in site collections associated to an Hub and inheriting the settings from it. The user permissions was being validated from where the Settings were loaded and not from the current site permissions.
​

fix

Fixed: Ribbon collapsed by default in Site Contents.

When navigating to the "Site Contents" page the Ribbon was always hiding although predefined as "Open" in settings
​

improvement

Improvement: Support of tokens in the Logo and Page title link URL settings.

Now can be set tokens to the settings to get current site or site collection relative URL

  • current site: {site}

    • The use of this token can be useful when,the theme is applied to a site collection with sub-sites, the logo will be linked to each current site.

  • Site collection: {sitecollection}

    • The use of this token can be useful when, the theme is applied to a site collection and his sub-sites and each one has the Logo linked to parent site collection.

The use of both tokens can be useful when, the theme is applied to an Hub and associated sites and each site collection has to have the Logo linked to the current site collection.
