STEP 8: Add Comment

Any time Display in Navigation is changed, add the following note to the Comment Field.

Type in Added Page to Navigation or Removed Page from Navigation.

This comment informs Developers to publish the page. Unlike standard content changes approved in Workflow, any navigation change requires a Developer to specifically publish the site. Otherwise, the navigation changes will not appear until the site's normal, once a week, publication.

STEP 7: Email Web to Publish

The last step involves emailing the dangerously charismatic web team to republish the containing folder.

Email them at web@sandiego.edu with the subject Please Republish.

The body of the email should include the URL for the page or site that needs to be republished.

Troubleshooting Navigation

If the modified page is still not appearing in the navigation menu, or if it is still appearing after being removed, ask these questions. The answer to all of them should be "yes."

  1. Were the steps above followed correctly?
  2. Did a Developer publish the page?
  3. Is the Display in Navigation setting for the page's parent folder set to Yes?
  4. Does the page's parent folder have a page titled index (with a lowercase "i") in it? If the modified page is titled index, then this counts as "yes."
  5. Is the Display in Navigation setting for the index page that shares the same parent holder set to Yes? If the modified page is titled index, then this counts as "yes."
If the answer to all of these questions is "yes," then email web@sandiego.edu for assistance. Make sure to clearly state the issue, and to provide a link to the page that isn't displaying correctly
