The Site Builder lets you shape your site’s content and structure, which is also reflected in the site’s navigation menu.
To add content to your site, click the + Add New button and choose spaces and projects from your linked Confluence/JSM instance.
The content you add will automatically appear in your site’s drop-down navigation menu. You can drag and drop items, nesting them into a hierarchy (see below) that maps to the drop-downs. 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.
Read on to learn about all the ways you can shape your site’s structure and menuNow that you’ve created a Refined site, let’s add some Confluence spaces and JSM projects to the site structure.
