SharePoint 2010 Navigation: Quick launch and Navigation


In this article I will show the Quick Launch in Team site and the Publishing site .
If you navigate to the site settings the “Look and Feel” section you will see that there are different options available between collaboration and publishing sites.
Look and feel options of a publishing site

Look and feel options of a collaboration site

In collaboration sites there is a link named “Quick launch” and on publishing sites there a link named “Navigation”.
The “Quick launch” configuration in collaboration sites is straight forward; you can add headings and links and modify the order.

Now let’s have a look at the navigation option on publishing sites.

First of all, it looks totally different but we have a lot more options here. We can inherit navigation from above and we can configure both the global and the current navigation.
If you want to open links in a new window, check the Open link in new window under URL


If the collaboration site is a sub site of a publishing site it inherits the configuration tool from above and offers the same tool like the publishing site. If we want to make the publishing navigation features available in a collaboration site collection, we have to activate the publishing infrastructure feature on the site collection.
