  2. Click on the Links Tab to add a link to the NavBar.
  3. The Edit NavBar screen opens, with a representation of the different areas of the navbar.
  4. Add a link to a tool in the Bottom Left area of the NavBar: Click on Add Links in the Bottom Left Link Area.
  5. A list of the available NOW tools is presented in alphabetical order. Check the check box next to the tool you wish to add to the NavBar, then click Add.
  6. When you have finished click on the NavBars link on the left.

Make the new navnar template active

  1. If the navbar isn't already the active navbar, you will need to make it active before it will display in the learning room.
