Research: Allowing users to add new link to navigation bar

[kelea99]

Summary

@sdellis Emma S. from SC has asked about this. She is making the Morrison DPUL exhibition and asked if it was possible to add another link to the main nav bar in DPUL. Currently that is not an option. What are the pros and cons to enabling this feature?

Reasoning for this particular use case/request: "How to Visit" was a requested addition for a top level nave bar item. Currently, "Home", "Who was Toni Morrison?", and "Discovering and Accessing the Toni Morrison Papers" are all necessary top level nave bar items. "How to Visit" would like to be highlighted in this instance, particularly due to the extra information for:

1. individuals coming to see the exhibition
2. Individuals coming to see the collection
3. groups coming to see the exhibition

Impact

Please include hard deadlines, if the exhibit is part of an event, the issue is stopping work, etc.

@kelea99 Can you screenshot what the main navbar is and describe what they want to add and why?

[kelea99]

Yup! It just came in and i wanted to get a ticket made before the end of the day. Standby.

@kelea99 I'm still confused - aren't those just about pages? Like can't you add one the same way virtual gallery tour was added?

You can add them vertically (via dropdown). You cannot add another navigation item horizontally.
So you have up-to and not exceeding 4 static tabs that can be activated horizontally in the navigation bar:

1. home
2. Curated Features (with dropdowns of subpages)
3. Browse
4. About (when you click on about, you will be directed to a page and sidebar with the other subpages)
