KB User's Guide - General Info - How to Hide Topic Breadcrumbs

NoteInformation symbol

You must have full administrative permissions in your space to perform these steps. This means access to the Documents, Settings, and Users tabs.

This document will explain how a KB Group Admin can hide topic breadcrumbs from view on their KB Live Site(s), either across your site or on a single KB document.

Topic Breadcrumbs are the links at the top of a document that display the topic paths associated with that document. They display above the document title, and the topic names act as links pointing to a search of all documents under that topic.

Topic breadcrumbs start with the text "Topics Map" followed by a greater than sign, then the topic name and any relevant child topics, each separated by a greater than sign. There will be multiple rows of topic breadcrumbs if the doc is assigned multiple topics
If needed, these breadcrumbs can be hidden from view.

    Layout is the third link in the second link group of the secondary navigation under Settings
