Q. Is there anything I can do to optimize my Path for the Path Navigator?
Path Nav is a simple, powerful tool for learners, moderators, teachers, and designers alike. But it does rely on the text that’s in your Path. To optimize your Path, consider doing the following:
Use specific, short, and clear Step titles so that they're easy to scan on the Path Navigator.
Add the title of videos, articles, or books in the Step title, Block text, or a file name to make them searchable.
