Breadcrumbs are a type of secondary navigation scheme that reveals the user's location in a website or web application. They are a great way to show hierarchy in content and improve navigation.
Remember, breadcrumbs are an additional navigation aid, they don't replace effective primary navigation menus.
How It Works#
In our platform, breadcrumbs are automatically generated based on the current page's location within the site structure. They provide a trail for the user to follow back to the starting or entry point of the site and enhance the overall user experience by making navigation more straightforward.
Customization#
You can customize the appearance and behavior of breadcrumbs through the settings panel. Here are some of the options:
- Enable Breadcrumbs: Toggle the display of breadcrumbs on your website.
- Link Current Page: Decide whether to enable or disable a link on the current page in the breadcrumb trail.
- Separator: Choose the character or symbol to use as a separator between breadcrumb items.
- Home Label Type: Choose the label for the home page in the breadcrumbs section. Options include an icon, the site name, or a custom label.
Visibility#
Breadcrumbs are typically displayed at the top of the page, providing a context and additional means to navigate the website. They are especially useful on websites that have a large amount of content organized in a hierarchical manner.
