  • Links let you direct users to any page you want, on or off your site, straight from your site’s navigation menu.

Create an item hierarchy

An organized Navigation Menu helps your visitors find the right content. Simply drag and drop items to arrange them into a hierarchy. Group items underneath Refined Pages and Menu folders to create drop-down lists in the site navigation menu. The key to a successful hierarchy is to think about the relationships between spaces/projects and how they'll be used.

For example, you can create four menu folders which will be the main navigation menu items on your intranet: Teams, Projects, Resources and HR. Everything you group underneath these folders in the Site Builder appears in drop-down lists in the menu.

Add items to your site

  • Click the + Add space or project button to choose spaces and projects from your linked Confluence/JSM instance.

  • Click the + Add other item button to add a Refined Page, menu folder, or link.

Shape the navigation menu

The content you add will automatically appear in your site’s navigation menu. By dragging and dropping items, you can group them to create drop-downs in the navigation menu. You can also organize items into folders, and add links to other sites as menu items. You can even exclude certain items from the navigation menu if you want.

  • Only logged-in users. The item shows a lock icon in the site structure.

Interactions with other permissions

You can also set general site access permissions and granular permissions on specific content on landing pages of Refined pages, Confluence spaces, Jira projects, and JSM projects.

All types of permissions are closely related and may impact each other. For example, a user who doesn’t have access to a landing page still won’t be able to see a section that’s set to be Accessible to anyone.
