Create a Custom Left Navigation

This article will show you how to create a custom set of links in the left-hand navigation on a page.

When you create a custom set of links, that means the left-hand navigation is not dependent or does not autofill with any links or subpages. Instead, you have the ability to make your own menu full of any page links you want.

Important Notes

• When you create a custom set of links, the possibility of ADA non-compliance increases. It will become harder to navigate through your site.
• When you create a Custom Set of links, the navigation of the site may change slightly. Custom menus will appear in the Site Map as [Custom Links]. Additionally, custom Secondary Navigation has to be manually maintained, so if you adjust the links for a certain section and want those adjustments reflected on the secondary navigation, you must also adjust the custom menu.
