The navigation is the menu your members use to move around your platform. You decide which entries it has, in which order, under which name and with which icon. Changes go live for members right away.
How the page is laid out
Settings > Navigation has three parts on a wide screen:
- On the left, the library with every entry you can still add.
- In the middle, a live preview of the member menu.
- On the right, the panel for the entry you selected in the preview.
On a smaller screen the library opens with Add items at the top, and the panel opens as a sheet as soon as you tap an entry in the preview.
The buttons Desktop, Tablet and Mobile switch the preview between the three devices. Next to them a short note shows Saving and then Saved after each change.
Adding entries
The library groups the entries you can add:
- System: Dashboard and the main page of every feature that is on, for example Community, Courses, Bookmarks, Hubs, Events and Billing.
- Courses, Hubs and Events: a single course, hub or event, so members reach it in one click.
- Locations: the locations you saved under Settings > Locations.
- Affiliate: Commissions, Payouts and Team, once your partner program is live.
Drag an entry into the preview at the spot where you want it, or click the plus next to it to add it at the end. An entry that is already in the menu disappears from the library, so nothing ends up twice. Search above the groups filters the library by name.
When you turn a feature on under Features, its main page is added to the menu by itself. When you turn it off, the entry is removed.
Order, spacers and categories
Drag entries in the preview to change their order. Two buttons above the library add structure:
- Spacer adds empty space between two entries. Its Height sets how much.
- Category adds a small heading above a group of entries. Type the heading into Section label.
Spacers and categories show only in the full sidebar. The collapsed sidebar and the tablet menu list just the entries.
Renaming and coloring an entry
Click an entry in the preview to open it in the panel:
- Name is the text members see. With more than one language active, a flag row above the field switches the language, and each language gets its own name. A language without a name falls back to your default language. The preview shows the language picked in the selector above it.
- Icon picks the symbol in front of the name.
- Text color and Highlight color override the menu colors for this one entry. Once a color is set, Reset next to the field returns it to the menu colors from Design.
Live Preview at the bottom of the panel shows the entry in its normal and its active state. Save stores the changes. Delete removes the entry from the menu. The course, hub or event behind it stays untouched.
What members see on each device
- Desktop shows the full sidebar. Members can collapse it to icons.
- Tablet shows the collapsed sidebar with icons only.
- Mobile shows a bar at the bottom with the first four entries plus More. More opens all entries, grouped under your categories. Links to other websites never take one of the four places in the bottom bar, they appear under More. When a member is on a page that is not among the four, that page takes the fourth place while they are on it.
With the partner program live, members see the affiliate entries only once they are a partner. Admins always see them.
Put the four pages your members use most at the top. On a phone they become the bottom bar.
Whether the menu sits on the left or across the top is set under Design with Navigation position.
Who can change the navigation
The page needs Update Platform Settings, and saving needs Manage User Navigation. Owner and Admin have both.
