            foreach(char c in password) {
                secure Password.AppendChar(c);
            }
            var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, securePassword);
            using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {
                client Context.Credentials = credentials;
                Navigation NodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;
                client Context.Load(clientContext.Web);
                clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);
                clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
                NavigationNodeCreationInformation newNode = new NavigationNodeCreationInformation();
                newNode.Title = "Search";
                newNode.Url = "https://www.google.com";
                qlNavNodeColl.Add(newNode);
                clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
            }
        }
    }
}

After running the code,

 

 

Get Navigation node

 

Add the below code to get all the term from quicklunch.

using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {
    clientContext.Credentials = credentials;
    NavigationNodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;
    clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web);
    clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    foreach(NavigationNode navToDelete in qlNavNodeColl) {
        var navNodeTitle = navToDelete.Title;
        Console.WriteLine("Navigation Node is : " + navNodeTitle);
    }
}

SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();
foreach(char c in password) {
    securePassword.AppendChar(c);
}
var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, securePassword);
using(ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl)) {
    clientContext.Credentials = credentials;
    NavigationNodeCollection qlNavNodeColl = clientContext.Web.Navigation.QuickLaunch;
    clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web);
    clientContext.Load(qlNavNodeColl);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    foreach(NavigationNode navToDelete in qlNavNodeColl) {
        var title = navToDelete.Title;
        if (title == "Search") {
            navToDelete.DeleteObject();
            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
        }
    }
}
}

Conclusion

 

From the above example of the code, we can conclude that, the CRUD operation of a quick launch navigation node in SharePoint Online using c# is very effective as it reduces the amount of time. You can also use this code for SharePoint 2019 and 2016.
