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

The navigation block is set as an 'unneeded block' in The Boost theme settings, and is therefore not available to add.

  • 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.
