On mobile, the Search button always appears in the action bar. We recommend including a maximum of 3-4 additional buttons, though this may vary depending on button size.
Primary navigation
The primary navigation offers a clear overview of your site structure, providing quick access to 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, with different links displayed on different pages. An individual sub navigation can be displayed on just one page or several pages. The following types of pages can display sub navigations:
- Sections (including your homepage)
- Infopages
NOTE: Category pages cannot display sub navigations. This includes Category pages with merged with Sections.
Site admins can conveniently create and update sub navigations from Pangea CMS. To get started, go to Settings > Navigation menu > Sub navigation.
For detailed information, see the following article:
Footer navigation
The footer navigation appears at the very bottom of every page on your site. 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 includes 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.

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:

- 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.
