Editing the Your Site's Navigation


OU Campus automatically generates a sidebar for your site of all of the pages included in your site directory. The _nav.inc file updates the side navigation for every page within that particular folder.  To modify this navigation, open up the split-screen layout.

Locate _nav.inc  and check the file out by clicking on the light bulb icon next to its name.
