How can I update my app on sharepoint store as well as in my website? - sharepoint

I have made an app on sharepoint and have registered in sharepoint store. Now how can I update my app on sharepoint store as well as the website in which I am using that app?
And what component for an app does it needs to get updated?
I am searching for a solution for past 3 days, but no website has a clear answer.

The SharePoint Store should function the same way the AppCatalog does for enterprise applications. Once the update to your app was accepted and published in the Store, you should be able to update your app on its parent site as follows:
Navigate to the site containing the app.
Click the gear in the top right of the page.
On the dropdown menu that pops up, click "Site contents".
On the page that loads, locate your app and hover over the name of the app.
Three vertical dots should appear to the right of the app name. Click the three dots to show actions.
On the popup window, click "Details".
If the new version has been published by the Store, the "ADD IT" button should light up. Click it and then wait for the update to complete.

Left Nav menu missing in all SharePoint sites

The left nav menu disappeared from my SharePoint 2019 servers (2 Web Front Ends and 2 SQL Back Ends, all with the latest OS, SharePoint, and SQL patches) recently. I've tried the following:
Create a new Site Collection in the existing Web Application
Create a new web application and a new site collection within it
All show the same issue.
For reference, I've placed a screenshot below showing the blank left nav. To generate that screenshot, I created a new web application, created a new site collection in it (team site) and nothing else.
I welcome ideas as I am new to SharePoint 2019. Thanks!
If someone has access to this site, can they see the navigation?
Do you get the same result if you try to access the site with a different browser?
Please try opening the browser by running as administrator.
If you still get the same result, make sure you have not set oslo as your site's master page and that you have "Enable fast startup" checked.

SharePoint Online Hub Sites Navigation - top level menu item with no hyperlink

On the hub site top navigation, I cannot find a way to add a menu item without a link.
On all of the other SharePoint online menu editors, you can leave the URL blank and it will make the new item a label without a hyperlink. However, in the hub sites top navigation, if you leave the URL blank, the "OK" button is disabled. If you add "#" in the URL, it links to the site home page. This is a problem because users automatically click on a menu item when they want to see the children, resulting in a page reload.
More details here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/Hub-site-navigation-top-level-requires-URL/m-p/226427#M20428
Has anyone been able to successfully add a menu to their hub site with top level navigation items not linking to anywhere?
Yes, that is not supported OOTB. A valid URL seems like a must.
To get around this issue, you can make use of SPFx extensions based on links in term store.
After that, you can delete all the links in your hub site and then deploy this extension to sites associated to your hub. This will provide you will a consistent top navigation across site collections.
GitHub Link - Tenant Global NavBar Application Customizer
Use PS script from - Apply SPFx extensions to SharePoint Hub Sites using PnP PowerShell
When you deploy this extension, if the term has no link it acts like a label.
If the term has child links, it will open a dropdown showing those child links which can then be clicked.
Seems like an overkill but there seems to be no other option.
You can always guide and train your end users or content owners to hover the links and the dropdown for child links besides it before clicking, but it will require a mentality change on their part !

The new extension is not visible in Store

I noticed that from December 1 published extensions are not visible on the page https://chrome.google.com/webstore/ and google after such indexing is visible? Could it be some sort of algorithm update?
Or is it a temporary error?
You may want to try Updating a web app's Chrome Web Store listing with these steps:
Open the web app script in the script editor.
Click Publish > Register in Chrome Web Store. Click Edit store item. This will bring up the Edit Item form you filled out during publication.
Make the changes you want to the description, graphic assets or other settings.
Click Publish changes.
Visit the Chrome Web Store developer dashboard to see the publication status of your web app. Note that the publication process can take up to an hour to finish. Once the "Status" column says "Published", your web app will be available in the store.
In addition to that, you may also check the possible reasons why your item may not be showing in search.
If any of the given links doesn't help, I suggest that you submit your issue.

Editing Sharepoint Site Homepage in Sharepoint Developer

I have just edited my publishing site home page in SharePoint Designer. The page originally contains some web parts.
I am a newbie as far as SharePoint branding is concerned. I did the editing in Advance Mode when I realized that I couldn't edit areas outside my Web Part Zones and since I need to do that, I tried it using the advance mode. I edited the page adding some inline CSS styling and even added some additional Web Part Zones. Everything looked good when I previewed so I saved and thought all was okay. But to my surprise, Only my account (System Account) can see the changes I made. Every other user on the domain are still see the original page without any of my recent changes.
I have done the Check-In and Publish circle over and over again but no luck.
Does any one have any idea as to what I might have done wrong here and what I can do to fix the issue.
Follow below steps for publishing:
Select “Publish a major version,”. When
prompted to approve the master page, click Yes. This automatically
invokes a SharePoint master page approval page, where you
will find your new master page listed at the top of the page.
Click the drop-down menu beside the master page. Select
Approve and select the Approved radio button. Click OK. Your
master page is now saved and approved in SharePoint.
Navigate to your top-level site collection, and click Site Actions -> Site Settings
Under Look and Feel, select the Master Pages link. For both the
Site and System Master Page settings, select your new master
page from the drop-down menu.
Once you click OK, your changes should be available to all users

How to get Site Icon to properly update in Sharepoint 2010 Web Part Page

I'm working on creating a reusable and extensible web application in SharePoint 2010. I've created a master page to apply across all pages in the site. However, whenever I create a web part page and navigate to it, the site icon does not display. Instead of my custom site icon being displayed it shows the default SharePoint icon. I can get around this by placing the icon directly into the master page, but that would require me to create a new master page if I ever wanted to extend this web application.
Does anyone know why this is happening? My initial thought was that the web part page had somehow been customized to not use the default master page, but that does not seem to be the case: if I update the master page it is reflected in the web part page.
Googling around and checking this site yielded little answers. I only found one post out there that reported the same issue I am observing but there was no solution.
If it helps, I did notice one phenomena when navigating to this page. Before the page completely loads, the correct site icon appears for a split second before being replaced with the default site icon. Hope that helps.
I ran into the same issue this morning and didn't want to create a custom master page just for this, but luckily it was quickly resolved by following admlcrunch's suggestion (on SharePoint 2010):
Go to the desire page
Click on the "Page" tab at the top
Click on the "Title Bar Properties" at the right (in the ribbon)
In the Image Link section on the right, paste in the image URL
Click OK
The only bad thing about this is, you have to update every Web Part page that you want custom icon image to display.
I was just having the same issue. Web Part Pages have their own icon that you can set.
To set the icon click Page > Title Bar Properties. This will open the Web Part Page Title Bar dialog. In this dialog there is an area to set the Image Link. You can set the icon here. I just copied the URL to the site icon.
Open the page in designer and remove the custom titlebar place holder:
[WebPartPages:TitleBarWebPart]
from the :
[asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea"]
