The Navigation editor controls how pages appear in the portal’s top navigation menu. You can add both built-in and custom pages, group them into categories, and reorder them with drag-and-drop.
Access it from the Navigation link at the bottom of the editor’s left menu.
Navigation structure
The portal navigation is made up of two kinds of elements:
- Fixed categories — four locked root-level categories that are always present.
- Custom groups — root-level groups that you create and manage yourself.
Fixed categories
Every portal ships with four permanent categories:
| Category | Purpose |
|---|
| Bookings | Resource management — booking pages, resource list, resource calendar |
| Store | Products and checkout pages |
| Memberships | Plans and subscriptions |
| Community | Events, perks, community board, directory |
Fixed categories are marked with a [fixed] badge and a lock icon. You cannot remove, rename or reorder them, but you can add items inside them.
Custom groups
Custom groups are root-level categories that you create. They work exactly like fixed categories in that they hold navigation items, but you can:
- Rename them by editing the group label.
- Reorder them relative to other custom groups.
- Delete them (and their child items).
Groups cannot be nested inside other groups. They must remain at the root level.
Navigation items
Each item in a category or group is one of two types:
| Type | Description |
|---|
| Built-in | A reference to a standard portal page (e.g. Resource List, Events, Personal Dashboard). Uses the page’s OutlineName. |
| Custom | A reference to a published custom page you created in the editor. Identified by its page ID. |
Editor layout
The Navigation editor is split into two panels:
Left panel — Page picker
The left panel lets you browse and add pages to the navigation:
- Built-in pages tab — lists all available built-in pages alphabetically.
- Custom pages tab — lists your published custom pages (each shows a permalink badge).
- “Add into” dropdown — choose the target: a fixed category, a custom group, or the root level. Selecting a page adds it to the chosen target.
Right panel — Navigation tree
The right panel shows the current navigation structure:
- Fixed categories — displayed at the top with their child items. The category header shows a lock icon and a [fixed] badge.
- Custom groups — displayed below fixed categories. Each group header has an editable label and a delete button.
- All items within categories and groups are drag-and-drop reorderable.
Drag-and-drop rules
| Action | Allowed? |
|---|
| Reorder items within the same category/group | Yes |
| Move an item from one category/group to another | Yes |
| Reorder custom groups relative to each other | Yes |
| Drag a group into a fixed category | No |
| Nest a group inside another group | No |
| Remove or reorder fixed categories | No |
Adding pages to the navigation
Add a built-in page
- In the left panel, select the Built-in pages tab.
- Use the “Add into” dropdown to pick the target category or group.
- Click on the page you want to add.
- The page appears as a new item inside the chosen target.
Add a custom page

- Use the “Add into” dropdown to pick the target.

Only published custom pages appear in the Custom pages tab. If you don’t see a page, make sure it has been saved with a Published status in the
editor.

To create a new top-level navigation group:
- Click Add group (at the bottom or in the toolbar area of the right panel).
- Give it a label.
- Add pages into it from the left panel.

Click Save in the toolbar to persist your navigation changes. The updated navigation takes effect across the portal immediately.
