This release will be available starting June 12, 2019 and affects several themes.
IMPORTANT: This release is only available for SharePoint 2019 Themes Modern experience.
New Feature
Sub-menus now automatically become scrollable when there isn't enough room to fit all items on the page. This ensures that all navigation options remain accessible, regardless of screen size or the number of items.
Your selected theme will now consistently apply to new page templates.
We created new features for the Settings Panel:
Brand new UI/UX: Experience a completely refreshed User Interface and User Experience, offering a modern, intuitive, and visually appealing design.
New Navigation Provider & BindMENU v2: Introducing an enhanced navigation provider and the inclusion of BindMENU v2.

A new dynamic source automatically applies Global navigation for Team Sites and Current navigation for Communication Sites.
For Global and Current sources, you can now enable optional metadata inheritance.
