Add UA Tools to NavBar
Whether it just doesn't exist or it needs updated, here you will learn how to add the most current UA Tools menu to your Brightspace course Navbar.
The UA Tools menu includes useful links to instructional applications that integrate into Brightspace, such as Zoom, Panopto, Top Hat, Voicethread, Playposit, etc.
On occasion, tool links within the UA Tools menu get updated or new ones get added. If your Brightspace course uses the A - Default Course Home Navbar, then it will automatically get the newest updates when changes are made to the UA Tools menu.
If you have customized your course Navbar by making a copy of the default Navbar, then the UA Tools menu will not get updates when new links are added or when existing links change. This is where you would need to delete and add the default and current UA Tools menu. To do this, follow the instructions below.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Within your Brightspace course, navigate to the end of the Navbar and select the Actions for Navbar button (box with three dots).
Step 2
Select Edit this Navbar.
Step 3
If you previously did not have a UA Tools menu in your Navbar proceed to Step 4.
If you are replacing an old UA Tools menu, under the Links heading navigate to the old UA Tools option and select the X (Remove UA Tools) to remove that link from the Navbar.
Step 4
Select the Add Links button.
Step 5
From the Add Links pop-up window, navigate or scroll through the list to find and select the UA Tools option.
Note
If you see multiple options for UA Tools, select the top most available option as seen in the image below. The reason you get multiple options is due to copying a Navbar multiple times over and over. It creates copies of links and link groups. These copies do not get necessary updates when the default link or link groups get updated. The top most link listed will always be the default links that are used in the default Navbar.
Select the Add button.
Step 6
To change the order of the links, select the link and drag it to a different position in the Navbar list order.
Step 7
Select the Save and Close button.
