Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are user interface elements commonly used by websites to provide a hierarchical pathway for easy navigation and orientation within a website's structure.

They typically appears as a horizontal trail of clickable links, usually located near the top of the page or within a designated navigation bar, as can be seen here:

Global Updates

To add or update the breadcrumb of the folder you are in, click the Current Folder Breadcrumb Settings icon:

You will be taken to the Modern Campus CMS Current Folder Breadcrumb Settings menu, where you can make the necessary changes:

Click the 'Save' button, then submit a request for a folder republish for the changes to take effect.

NOTE: This option is only available for users with permission levels 8+. This setting will also be overriden if changes are made to the breadcrumb from Page Parameters.

This is the only way to update the breadcrumb for index pages.

Updating the breadcrumb at the root level will also set the Site Title for your microsite. This appears in the banner just underneath the hero image.


Individual Updates

As mentioned above, it is possible to update breadcrumbs for each page individually. To do so, navigate to a page's Page Parameters section after you've checked it in. 

From here, fill out the Custom Breadcrumb field to change the breadcrumb for this page

Custom Settings

Adjusting the breadcrumb here will NOT apply the same breadcrumb to pages in the same folder. It will only apply to the page you are editing.

Changing the breadcrumb here will also overwrite any breadcrumbs that have been applied in the Folder Breadcrumb Settings.

The breadcrumbs for index pages need to be updated via the Folder Breadcrumb settings mentioned above.
