The Quick Launch, as explained above, is the left navigation bar. In this section we can configure two components: On the other hand, we can also quick edit the links directly on the bar, similar to the other navigation bar. One detail to consider, we cannot indent links inside others like in the left navigation bar, in this bar we are only allowed to create one link next to each other. Particularly Useful to quickly navigate to other places, such other sites in the Intranet of your corporation, or why not the URL of a site outside of your organization? We can create any links we want, not only to point to our content, meaning with this that we can use any URL. Similar to the left navigation bar that was explained earlier, this Top Link Bar section is designed to allow us to edit the “horizontal” top bar, the one we see above the contents of our site, also known as the “breadcrumbs” of the site. Notice that not only you can add and delete links in this setting, you can also drag the links inside other links, and indent them if you want to group the links together, like the “Recent” and “DialogBox” links from the screenshot above. You will also notice that in the bar itself you have a link named “EDIT LINKS”, this is the secondary way to edit the links in the bar, if you don’t want to go explicitly to the Quick Launch settings. This navigation bar is very useful for a quick watch of the primary content of your site, such as some sub-sites, document libraries, lists that you need to easily have access to, or custom links you want to add to your site. This is the left navigation bar that you see on your SharePoint Online site, here you can configure how you want the links to show, and to what URL to point them to. No further configurations are available in this section. Here, as the link itself suggests, you can change the Site Title name (the one you see at the top-left corner when you navigate to the site), the description details that show below the title, and the ability to upload a cover image to display right next to this title, simple and to the point. In this article I will show the features available on a SharePoint site to configure and improve the look & feel of the site, including some modern navigation techniques that helps the end users to find and consume their content.įirst, you can access these settings going to “ Site Settings ” (under the wheel options icon), and then under the Look & Feel section, you will find the different configuration options for this, as shown in the picture below: This is perhaps an area of improvement that Microsoft can pay attention for its future releases, but in my opinion it gives room for developers to create custom features allowing an improved user experience. Over the past few years with the newer SharePoint versions, the navigation of the site content was slightly improved, the standard settings allow a nice and rich look & feel, with customizable navigation bars, site themes, and why not third party tools to extend the user experience, but in general things have not changed much.
