Compact navigation with richer grouped menus
Version 0.7.17Build a compact single-row header with grouped links, icons, descriptions, flexible layouts and an optional bottom link. Menu links are present in the initial HTML.
Added
Group menu links with icons and descriptions.
Use the shared Complex header editor to organize richer navigation without replacing your native page blocks.
Choose group layouts and an optional bottom link.
Arrange supported link groups horizontally or vertically and enable or hide the bottom More-style link without deleting its saved settings.
Improved
Use a compact single-row main navigation.
Complex header layouts keep primary navigation on one row, with responsive behavior for smaller screens.
Keep expanded menu links in the initial HTML.
Enabled links are server-rendered as real anchors; JavaScript manages disclosure and focus rather than generating the links.
Fixed
Save document search settings without a false validation error.
Separate editor forms no longer collide on a shared schema identifier.
Release notes
LitPage 0.7.17 expands the shared Complex header into a more compact navigation system. You can introduce a product area, group related resources and explain a destination before a visitor opens it.
Keep the main navigation compact
The primary navigation uses a single row instead of taking an extra line below the brand. On smaller screens, the responsive menu keeps the links accessible without squeezing the desktop layout into the available width.
Give each group a clear purpose
Add link groups, icons and short descriptions in the shared header editor. Use a vertical list for sequential destinations or a horizontal arrangement when visitors need to compare related options.
An optional bottom row can point to an overview or a More-style destination. Turning it off hides the public link while retaining its saved settings, so you can enable it again later.
HTTP and HTTPS links to external sites display an arrow automatically. Opening in the current tab or a new tab remains a separate link setting.
Make destinations discoverable from the page HTML
All enabled menu links are real anchors in the initial server-rendered HTML, including links inside collapsed desktop menus. JavaScript controls opening, closing and focus; it does not have to generate the destinations after the page loads.
Keyboard access, Escape dismissal and scrollable mobile menus remain part of the shared navigation behavior.
A documentation editor repair
This release also removes a false validation error in document search settings caused by separate editor forms sharing a schema identifier.
Review your shared header before publishing it across its referencing pages. For an example of the site's documentation experience, visit Documentation sites for agents.
