No on canvas editing
Unlike normal Navbars, site navigation bars cannot be edited on the canvas ? all editing must be done in
the Navbar dialog. When you click OK
in the Navbar dialog to confirm some changes, your site navigation bar is updated on all pages of your
site.
Moving and transforming a site navigation bar
If you move a site navigation bar on the page, the bar is also moved on all the other pages on which it
appears. Similarly if you scale the bar to make it larger or smaller using the Selector Tool, again the
same transformation is applied to the copy of the bar on the other pages. No other transformations of a
Navbar using the Selector Tool
are supported (rotation, skew, scaling in one dimension).
Automatic page linking
Whenever you add a new page to your site, a link to that page will be added to your site navigation bar
for you and the new page will be given a copy of the bar, if it doesn't already have one. If your bar has an
unused button on it, then the first such button will be linked to your new page. If all buttons are already
linked, a new button is automatically added to the end of your bar and it is linked to the new page. In
either case, the label of the button is changed to match the name of the new page, if it has a name, or to
"New page" otherwise. Normally you will want to immediately edit this new label in the Navbar dialog.
When you delete a page from your website, the button linking to it on your site navigation bar is
automatically deleted for you, on all pages of your site.
Turning site navigation bars on and off
When you turn the site navigation option on or off in the Navbar dialog, the change is reflected in all
copies of that bar on all pages of your website.
Deleting a site navigation bar from a page
If you don't want the site navigation bar on a particular page of your site, you can simply click on it to
select it on that page and hit "Delete". You'll be asked whether you want to delete the bar from just that
page, or from all pages.
However after removing the bar from one or more pages, note that if you subsequently turn off the site
navigation bar option (perhaps in order to edit the button design, which can't be done with the option on),
and then later turn it back on again, the bar will be added automatically to all the pages of your site that
don't have it.
Templates & Site navigation bars
All the single page templates in the Designs Gallery have their Navbars set to be site navigation bars
when you load them from the gallery to start a new website document. This means you can rapidly build
a small website with all pages linked to the bar, without having to add buttons and page links manually.
Similarly all website templates have site navigation bars turned on. If you don't want this behavior, simply
turn off the site navigation bar option on the Navbar dialog
.
The standalone Navbars presented with each theme in the gallery do not have site navigation turned on
by default. This is because any user adding bars manually is less likely to want that bar on every page of
their site, with a link to every page. But again, the option can easily be turned on in the Navbar dialog if
required.
