The Sub Nav tool provides a sub-menu that helps your visitors navigate the sub-pages of a project. It displays the main Project Page along with associated Project Sub-pages, and helps visitors see what content is available for them to browse, and is a useful tool for projects that have multiple sub-pages.

Adding the Sub Nav tool onto a page will automatically detect and display all published project pages that are not expressly excluded from the navigation by the User.
