Editing Menus

Page Content

Aside from the main navigation on your unit’s website, each section has its own set of links to pages, called the side navigation or sidenav.

This sidenav allows people to travel to other pages within the same section. It is created by the _nav.inc files that live in each folder in Omni CMS. Every folder that contains webpages (which we call a “section” or “directory”) will have its own _nav.inc file. That navigation file is pulled onto each page in that section, so each page has the same navigation information.

If a page in a section is added or removed, or the page title changes, edit and republish the _nav.inc file to update the navigation. The pages in that section will automatically see the updated navigation (no need to edit individual pages).

To edit the sidenav file:

1. Navigate to the directory in Pages list view and click on _nav.inc to open it.

2. You will see a list of links. Press Enter to make a new list entry and click Insert/Edit Link

   to add a new link to the navigation.

3. Removing a link is easy – simply delete the link.

4. Editing an existing link’s title or URL is even easier – simply adjust the text to change the title or click Insert/Edit Link when on a link to modify the URL (see Inserting a Link).

5. Click Save when you’re done with your edits.

6. Remember to Publish the file to make these changes appear on the live site.
