    Hi RichAZ,

    As Ripon said, this feature is just disable by default.

    You could follow the steps to enable it:

    1. You will need SharePoint Designer 2013 to achieve this. Once you have it downloaded and installed, open the SharePoint site in it.

    2. Go to the Master page section and create a copy of the currently used master page(Seattle.master ). ( Its as simple as clicking on the master page -> copy -> right click -> paste)

    3.Click on the newly created master page, and then click on edit file.

    4. You will see the CSS code in it. Search for the term “GlobalBreadCrumbNavPopout” or “ms-breadcrumb-dropdownBox”.

    Change the visible attribute to “true”:

    Remove the tag  style=”display:none;”:

    5.Save the master page. Set it to default master page and you have the breadcrumb now available in your site.

    Best Regards,

    CY

    Hello  It just seemed that with the feature being hidden its use was being discouraged.  If there is no reason to not enable breadcrumbs other than preference then I will go ahead and enable it. Thanks.
