SharePoint 2013: Going Up in the Navigation
Going up can be a little bit difficult in SharePoint 2013, especially for newcomers. To address the issue, here’s a list of things you can do:
- Create global navigation by inheriting navigation from parent sites
- Manually, add navigation links to the top link bar
- Add link to the branding text
- $webApp = Get-SPWebApplication http://yourWebApp
- $webApp.SuiteBarBrandingElementHtml = "<div class=""ms-core-brandingText""><a href=""http:/www.google.com"">Home</a></div>"
- $webApp.Update()
- Add breadcrumb to the site: http://frederik.se/add-real-breadcrumbs-to-sharepoint-2013-master-page/
- Turn on the tree view
- Work with hyperlinks and favorites
- Add the site map control using SharePoint Designer: http://www.manageprojectsonsharepoint.com/blog/2012/12/19/restore-navigate-up-on-sharepoint-2013//
- Use Managed Navigation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn194311.aspx
- Use browser back and forward buttons, in some scenarios this works fine.
