About
Site navigation is the way visitors move through your site's pages and content. The navigation bar generally displays the pages and sections on your site that your visitors can click on and be redirected to.
Applies exclusively to the Video Portal.
This guide demonstrates the Video Portal Theming module. To select your preferred navigation bar when Theming module is enabled, visit navbar settings in the template pages.
Configure
1. Go to your Video Portal Configuration Management console, and navigate to the Navigation module. Your link should look like this: https://{your_KMS_URL}/admin/config/tab/navigation.
The Navigation module displays. 
2. Configure the desired navigation style.
showNavigation - The default is 'Yes'.
navigationStyle - Choose whether you want a horizontal or vertical header. Vertical displays a hidden menu on the left side for all screen sizes, while horizontal shows a top menu on desktops and switches to vertical on smaller screens.
showNavbarSearch - The default is 'Yes'. Set to 'No' if you don't want a search box in the header.
includeCategories - The default is 'Yes'. Set to 'No' if you prefer only 'pre' and 'post' items to appear in the main navigation, excluding categories.
For more information about adding a category, read our article Categories.
'Pre' menu
3. Next is the Pre section. This is where you'll add menu items to the beginning of the navigation bar, before the galleries (also known as 'categories'). Your Video Portal displays the items in the order you define here.
