Overview

The “Navigation” dashboard allows you to customize the visual styles of the navigation elements in your Knapsack workspace. This includes the Primary Navigation bar, Secondary Navigation sidebar, and Tabs used within Pattern Pages.

Whether you’re tweaking the text color of the Primary Navigation or fine-tuning the typography of Tabs, these settings offer extensive control over the appearance of your workspace’s navigation.
