We cannot over emphasize the importance of navigation. Please consider all way-finding decisions carefully and follow best practices.
Be aware of issues:
- resulting from trying to add a duplicate menu item to a page within the site and
- with changing URL path addresses after content is already “live”.
There are several tools within the Drupal site for managing navigation. However, you do not have to use them all. Determine a design pattern and stay consistent throughout your site. You are encouraged to develop a governance strategy.
In this section:
- Editing Menus – Main Site Navigation, Header and Footer Menus
- Section or Secondary Menu
- Quick Links Block
- URL Path Address
- Create a Link
- Duplicate Menu Labels, URLs or Titles
User Role Access
Since Information Architecture requires a governance strategy, not all content contributor user roles have access to edit menus. Only Content Administrators can control menus and create custom URL path addresses.
