Is it possible to hide the top navigation bar?

[Yann Dubois2]

I've created a NOW Experience application and the client would like to have the top navigation bar - the usual ServiceNow header nav bar - not display while users are using the application.  So either, 1) disable the nav bar while navigating the experience pages, or 2) disable the nav bar based on roles.

Just to be crystal clear, I'm referring to the nav bar outlined in red:

Is this possible?   Not just to disable or remove menu items, but to hide the entire bar when the user opens the homepage of the application.

Hi @Yann Dubois2 ,

No – out of the box, you cannot fully hide the global top navigation bar in a NOW Experience application, either per page or per role.
You can hide or restrict individual menu items, but the entire header itself cannot be conditionally removed for specific experiences or roles.

This behavior is by design in the Next Experience (Polaris) UI.

Hi @Yann Dubois2 

Full Navigation bar - you can not Hide. Not suppotred feature OOB.

Alternative Solution:

Each Menu (like All, History) you can make hide/visible based on Role.

Navigate to Unified Navigation Menus

Open the record , Based on your requirement set role, activate/deactivate it.

@what is the business value exempt that the client it stating this? I would always challenge this as you are trying to remove an OPTB behaviour which helps fulfillers navigating the application for next experience.
