  3. Sub navigations
  4. Footer navigation

Action bar

The Action bar contains buttons that open high-interest pages. It remains accessible at all times as visitors browse your site and is located as follows:

  • Mobile: At the bottom of the screen, where it is easily accessible with the thumb.
  • Desktop: In the site header.

The buttons in the Action bar are uniquely configured for every site. To update your site's Action bar, contact Pangea Customer Care.

The Action bar might contain the Live button.



Primary navigation

The Primary navigation offers a clear overview of your website structure, allowing visitors to quickly access key landing pages by topic. As visitors browse your website, the Primary navigation remains accessible at all times via the (Menu) button.

Site admins can conveniently update the Primary navigation from Pangea CMS. To get started, go to Settings > Navigation menu > Primary navigation.

Sub navigation

A Sub navigation is a horizontal collection of links, which appears directly below the site header. These prominent links provide quick access to key pages.

Your website might have multiple Sub navigations. Different Sub navigations can be displayed on different pages. An individual Sub navigation might be used on just one page or several pages. The following types of pages can include Sub navigations:

  • Section (including your homepage)
  • Infopage

NOTE: Category pages do not display Sub navigations. If a Category page and a Section are merged, the page cannot include a Sub navigation (even if the Section has an assigned Sub navigation).

Site admins can conveniently add and update Sub navigations from Pangea CMS. To get started, go to Settings > Navigation menu > Sub navigation.

For detailed information, see the alternative article below:



Footer navigation

The Footer navigation appears at the very bottom of every page on your website. This space typically provides links to Infopages that are not regularly updated (such as your "About" and "Contact us" pages). In the Footer navigation, every item consists of a title and a collection of links. Items are displayed as follows:

  • Mobile: Each item is an expander. Visitors can tap the title to reveal the links.
  • Desktop: All titles and links are directly visible.

Site admins can conveniently update the Footer navigation from Pangea CMS. To get started, go to Settings > Navigation menu > Footer navigation.

Live button

If your site regularly streams live audio / video content, we recommend including the Live button in your Action bar. This button opens your site's live page.

The Live button has two possible states:

  • Active: A red button indicates that live content is currently available.
  • Inactive: A blue button indicates that no live content is currently available.

Your site might have multiple tubes (or channels) for streaming live content. If live content is currently available via more than one channel, visitors can choose which channel they want to consume after hitting the Live button.

To add the Live button to your Action bar, contact Pangea Customer Care.
