The navigation block is used to provide navigation links when using the Clean or More theme or a custom theme based on Clean.
The Navigation Block is a feature of Moodle 2.0, and contains an expanding tree menu. Default menu items include My Home, Site Pages, Profile.  


The block's appearance and location can be Theme dependent. This block can also appear in a course.  The navigation block contents depends upon the global settings, context, and the role of the user.
(The [[Boost theme]] in Moodle 3.2 onwards uses a navigation drawer rather than the navigation block.)


==Overview==
*If enabled, the navigation block will appear on every page of the site. It contains an expanding tree menu which includes Dashboard, Site Pages and Courses. What appears in the navigation block depends on the role of the user, where they are in the Moodle site, and any settings that have been applied globally.
The navigation block has links which can be expanded or collapsed.   Here are examples of a 2.0 Standard theme's navigation block in collapsed mode and one that has the higher links opened one level.
*The administrator can change settings (such as the default home page) from Navigation in Site Administration.
*If the [[Dashboard]] is forced and the navigation block hidden, students will find it harder to see courses they are not enrolled in.

The navigation block is used to provide navigation links when using the Clean or More theme or a custom theme based on Clean.

(The Boost theme in Moodle 3.2 onwards uses a navigation drawer rather than the navigation block.)

  • If enabled, the navigation block will appear on every page of the site. It contains an expanding tree menu which includes Dashboard, Site Pages and Courses. What appears in the navigation block depends on the role of the user, where they are in the Moodle site, and any settings that have been applied globally.
  • The administrator can change settings (such as the default home page) from Navigation in Site Administration.
  • If the Dashboard is forced and the navigation block hidden, students will find it harder to see courses they are not enrolled in.

Here are examples of the navigation block:

  • Navigation block on front page
