SharePoint Republish Button Disappearing

Recently, when I click the Edit button to go into Editing mode in SharePoint Online, the Republish button doesn't display where it used to. In order to get it to show back up I have to refresh the page.

  1. Click Edit button.

  1. Republish button missing.

  1. Refresh the page. This popup keeps reappearing no matter how many times I close it out.

  1. After closing the pop-up, the Republish button has returned.

  1. Clicking the Republish button puts me back at Step 1. I have to go through this process every time I want to Republish any page.

As you can see, this quickly becomes annoying. Please help!

    I am having the same issue as of 2/11/2020. I am using Chrome. The following is the process I take to be able to "Republish" a page and keep the changes that I have made.

    • Click on "Edit" button. "Republish" button is not there.
    • After making my edits, I click on "Save As Draft".
    • I click "Edit" again. "Republish" button missing again.
    • I refresh the browser, "Share Your Ideas" pop up message appears. I close the message box.
    • "Republish" button appears
    • Click on "Republish"

    Any idea when this will be fixed? It's preventing us launching any modern sites.

    I am having EXACTLY the same problem and so incredibly frustrated by it.  Sometimes there's the republish button, sometimes not.  Doesn't matter what page I go to.  I'm using the latest Chrome.  Seems to be no rhyme or reason.

    Also happening to me 12 February 2020. Using Chrome.

    I have identified that it appears to happen when I am editing for a longer period of time or scrolling through a particular page.

    Only began occurring this week.

    We are having the same issues. We have many content owners across our company and some of them are losing their changes when this happens. It's incredibly frustrating. 

    All of us have been using Chrome as well.
