Navigation settings

Use the Navigation Settings tab to optionally include or remove some user interface features of the eText 2.0 platform, such as the Bookshelf or Table of Contents. You are not obliged to add any information here; the default template is sufficient.

collapsedTurning eText 2.0 features on or off (Global navigation settings)

The navigation elements for eText 2.0 School (RUMBA version) and eText 2.0 Higher Ed (SMS version) have different user interfaces, but for both versions you have the option to turn features on or off. The features included in the 9-dot menu vary, depending on whether the title is for the School group or the Higher Ed and International group. (You can specify the Group setting on the Edit Metadata page in Golden Gate.)
