I wasn’t able to find good documentation on this, so thought I’d make a post here in case anyone is trying to do something similar.
You can create a navigation sidebar for Markdown documents using this format at the top of each Markdown document:
---
title: Help Center
navigation:
- section: Help Center
- document: overview_doc
label: Overview
- document: data_sources_doc
label: Data Sources
- document: data_definitions_doc
label: Data Definitions
- document: faq_doc
label: FAQ
- document: release_notes_doc
label: Release Notes
---
And it will appear as a sidebar like this:
Users can get there from any dashboard by clicking a Help link at the top of every page. We created that link by adding a text tile with HTML at the top of each page:
- name: Help Link
type: text
title_text: "<a href='/projects/model/documents/overview_doc.md' ><i class='fa fa-question-circle' aria-hidden='true'></i> Help</a>"
And it looks like this:
The icon comes from the Font Awesome library.
Hope this is helpful to someone!
