 ```
 Adds the Marketing navigation node to the top navigation bar on the root site. NOTE that the `-External` switch is mandatory as the connection is made to the root site. This is currently a CSOM issue but once fixed, it will be fixed in PnP PowerShell automatically.

+Add-PnPNavigationNode -Title "Contoso" -Url "http://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/contoso/" -Location "QuickLaunch" -OpenInNewTab
