Sidebar Subsection links enable you to show where within a website section a browser is. A hub page will sit at the top of a list of links and sub-pages will sit below, each of which is clickable for quick and easy navigation.

Overview

Sidebar Subsection links

When adding subsection links, you will typically add a heading above followed by the component itself. Commonly, web editors will add a heading that says something along the lines of ‘In this section’.

To create Sidebar Subsection links, do the following:

  • Add the component within the Sidebar Content area
  • If a relevant Sidebar Subsection links component already exists, click on the “+ Select a data: hub landing links” button and search for it before clicking on it to add it to the page
  • If a relevant component does not already exist, click on the link to create a new component
  • Give it a reference title which notes the site area and theme of the links so it is easy to find in future
  • Click “+ Add component”, add a relevant title and then select the relevant entry, which will come from a landing page content type
  • In the backend of Contensis, a built Sidebar Subsection links area looks like this:

Remember: If you are editing an existing Sidebar Subsection Links component, it will change wherever it is displayed on the website, so ensure this is taken into account before publishing.
