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!

    Hi TrippMD,

    Thanks for sharing us with the updates. Glad to know this issue has been resolved for now.

    If the same/similar issue occur in your tenant in the future, please keep us informed.

    Hi everyone,

    It appears the incorrect behavior is back again in my tenant. I took a couple of days off from editing and I'm back at it and noticed the same issue occurring again.

    - Click "Edit" button

    • "Republish" button does not appear
    • Refresh the page
    • "Republish" button appears
    • Make edits
    • click "Republish" button

    I will continue to monitor.

    This hasn't been fixed or even acknowledged by Msft as a bug.

    Seems to be really messed up - now when I edit and then click "update news" I see the edit button again as expected but the "promoted state " doesn't update to 2 so when I refresh I get the "update news" button again.  Seriously could Msft try and recognize that this is a bug needing to be fixed?

    Alex,

    I have been editing off and on for a few days, and can no longer duplicate the problem. I am hopeful this has been fixed. 

    Thanks,

    M
