How to Customize Navigation Links in the Site Admin
This guide will walk you through customizing the navigation items in your site's header and side navigation using the Site Admin section.
Accessing the Site Admin:
Select the settings cog at the website's top right-hand side to access the Site Admin.
Navigating to the Navigation settings:
Once in the Site Admin section, locate and select Navigation from the left-side navigation menu.
Overview of the Navigation Page
The navigation page has two sections: the Header Nav and Quick Links.
Header Nav: Links edited or created here will reflect on your site's Header Navigation. The Save button displays real-time updates.
Quick Links: Links edited or created here are reflected on your site's Side Navigation menu. Real-time updates can be viewed under What Users Will See.
Customizing the Header Navigation
Locate the Header Nav section on the navigation page.
Here, you'll find default navigation links. Here, you can use the Add Link button to create new links, edit existing navigation links through the pencil icons, adjust their order by dragging and dropping, or delete navigation links using the X icons.
Customizing the Quick Links Navigation
Find the Quick Links section on the navigation page.
Like the Header Nav section, you can create new links here using the Add Link button, edit existing navigation links through the pencil icons, adjust their order by dragging and dropping, or delete navigation links using the X icons.
Creating New Navigation Items
In the Header Navigation section, select the Add Link button.
Fill out the required fields in the Create Quick Link window, including Link Text, Destination, Icon, and Link Style.
Link Text: This text will show on the button or as a tooltip and is required.
Destination with a Checkbox to designate internal (default on): The link's destination. Search for Pages, Courses, Groups, or Library content to create an internal link.
To create an External link that will open in a new tab, uncheck the internal box and add a URL.
Icon: Choose an icon to accompany the link. If you have already set an icon for an internal link with a photo, the icon will show instead of the photo.
Link Style: Choose from the 3 link styles:
Text: Text with an optional icon to the left.
Icon: Only a large icon shows with a tooltip when hovering.
Icon with Text: A large icon with text underneath
