Navigation
Create reusable menus for Headers, Footers and other supported presentation resources.
Navigation keeps a menu's links and ordering separate from the Header or Footer that displays it.
Create a menu
- Open Design → Navigation.
- Create a Navigation resource with a clear purpose such as Main Navigation or Footer Navigation.
- Add links to published site content or approved external destinations.
- Order the items and create child items only where the hierarchy is useful.
- Publish the Navigation and select or insert it in the Header, Footer or other supported Resource.
Internal links
Prefer selecting or linking to the real site destination rather than hard-coding an installation-specific address. This helps Navigation continue to work if the site later moves between a root domain and a subdirectory.
Keep menus shallow
A small number of clear top-level choices usually works better than several levels of nested navigation. Test the menu on mobile whenever you add children.
Changing a live menu
Because Navigation is shared, publishing a change can affect every place that uses it. Preview the active Header or Footer if you are making a structural change.
