Administration
After the STAGIL Navigation for Confluence app has been installed, an app configuration page tab is created in the system settings sidebar. Every instance administrator can access it through Settings → STAGIL Navigation → Global Navigation.
Navigation items
There are three types of navigation items:
Sub-navigation: a folder tab to place and group other navigation items, including the sub-navigation entries.
Web link: a link external web page.
Internal link: a link to an existing Confluence page.
Items configured through this app will be visible in the sidebar or accessible via Advanced Navigation.
These items can be managed and organised according to each team’s unique requirements and needs:
order in which items are displayed
custom icons, assignable to each item
controlled visibility with restrictions set for user groups
possibility to open the link in a new tab or in the same tab of your browser
Creating a navigation item
To create a 1st level navigation item, use an Add navigation item button in the top right corner of the app configuration page. Select Manage in the item’s Actions menu to create a new item within a sub-navigation.
Managing navigation items
To change the order of items, click on the drag & drop the item in the configuration page.
Item Icons
The Add/Edit navigation item dialogue now includes functionality for assigning icons to navigation items. Users can select one of many default icons or upload custom icons directly from their device.
Custom icons can be uploaded if they are in one of the following image formats: png, jpg/jpeg, svg, ico.
Maximum allowed icon size: 48x48px.
Visibility restrictions
Each navigation item can be restricted from being viewed by certain groups via Allow and Block lists. They are configured individually for each item in the Create item dialogue or can be edited anytime through a 3-dot menu.
Sidebar visibility logic
App’s visibility logic correlates as follows with the changes that any user can make manually in the default sidebar customisation menu:
Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
Admin sets an item as visible; user has not manually hidden it | ✅ Visible |
Admin sets an item as visible; user manually hides it | 🚫 Hidden (User preference takes precedence) |
Admin hides an item after the user manually shows it | 🚫 Hidden (Admin preference takes precedence) |
User sets visibility preference after admin setting | User preference takes precedence |
Note: System menus remain unaffected by these settings and are controlled by default Confluence sidebar settings.
