Customizations to the Microsoft 365 top navigation bar in SharePoint Online revert to the original settings

Problem

Consider the following scenario.

  • You make customizations to the Microsoft 365 top navigation bar in SharePoint Online by changing any .css class that begins with the following:

    .0365cs-

  • You discover that these changes have reverted to the default settings.

Solution

To work around this issue, use SharePoint themes or Microsoft 365 themes.

For more information about themes in SharePoint Online, go to SharePoint Site Theme.

For more information about Microsoft 365 themes, go to Personalize your Microsoft 365 experience by selecting themes.

More information

This issue occurs because overriding .css classes that begin with ".0365cs-" isn't supported. These classes are frequently updated across the Microsoft 365 service as new functionality is deployed. When this kind of updating occurs, changes may be overwritten.
