Reader's Question
Could you please explain the steps for setting up the global synced navigation bar from Lesson 1.4 in more detail? I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. Thanks!
My Answer
First, use the /sync command to create a Synced Block.
Then, inside the Synced Block, create a Callout block using /callout. This makes the navigation bar look nicer.
Next, type the navigation text you want inside the callout, as shown below:
Then paste the corresponding page links onto the matching text, as shown below. This way, clicking "Page 01" will navigate to the corresponding page.
After setting up all the hyperlinks in the callout, click the Synced Block button and select "Copy link to block".
Then paste this link into any page. When pasting, choose "Synced Block", and you can sync this navigation bar anywhere.
Here's what it looks like in action:
How to Get a Page Link
You can click the three dots in the upper right corner and select "Copy link", or use the shortcut Ctrl+L.
