Consistent navigation in Business Catalyst

-

starting january release we're adding usability improvements in bc. 1 of them related main navigation (ribbon) enables user move around "site manager" "file manager - alpha - ", "site editor" , "partner portal".

 

since discovered type of navigation confusing (mainly fresh partners) we've changed , added new browsing mode.

 

basically new browsing modes are:

  • preview - open front end of website (with navigation sticky, enabled in front-end)
  • content - open current "site editor"
  • develop - opens current "file manager"
  • manage - takes admin console

 

we're looking make navigation consistent (same behavior browsing modes), although not present in "content" mode. partner portal, ready starting february release (together other usability improvements in partner portal).

 

 

here's preview navigation activated on front-end (preview mode) of website (click on image enlarge).

here's how you'll se navigation on back-end (manage mode) of website(click on image enlarge):

note: if new navigation in front-end doesn’t fit needs (your template layout) or don’t want customer see type of navigation, can disable partner portal > settings tab (the last setting on page).

 

this navigation available starting january release. we’ll add more improvements navigation in next releases.

 

update: navigation ribbon disabled in front-end @ release; can enable partner portal switch.
