Side Navigation

Description

Side Navigation is a component embedded into the left navigation page template. It can be built with in two ways:

  • Site Structure builds a dynamic navigation based on the hierarchy of the site's page/folder structure.
  • Manual Navigation enables authors to design a unique navigation where the parent pages and child pages are built manually.

The Side Navigation can be edited on any page built using the Left Navigation Template. By default, any changes made to the Side Navigation on a given page will be inherited by all its child pages that are also built using the same template.
