Including/excluding pages in navigation
Developing Sites and Pages 47
By default, all pages in the tree are included in navigation—that is, they can be
linked to by navigation bars. You can exclude certain pages (any but the Home
page) so they'll be ignored by navigation bars. For example, suppose you had a
section of reference or archival pages that you didn't want visitors to explore
top-down. Excluding the parent page for that section would remove it from the
navigation bar. Note that excluding the page from navigation doesn't remove it
from the site—the page will still appear in the Site Structure tree and you can
still install hyperlinks to it; it just won't show up in a navigation bar.
To exclude a page from navigation:
• On the Studio's Site tab, right-click the page in the Site Structure tree
and choose Page Properties.... Below the tree, uncheck Include in
Navigation.
• Included pages show a mark in their page entry in the Site tab's Site
Structure tree, while excluded page entries lack the mark and appear
grayed out.
Using page separators in drop-down menus
For any page, offsite link, or anchor included in navigation (and appearing on a
submenu), their properties can be adjusted to control separators and supporting
page text within the submenu.
• Check Before and/or After
to apply horizontal
separator lines
above/below the page as a
submenu item in
navigation bars.
• Add a Description to add
extra page-related text
information under the bar's
submenu item.
