NAV IT
Guide

NAV IT helps you keep navigation consistent across a flat HTML site. Load a full website zip in Cygnus Connect, or load individual HTML files in free mode, choose the page with the nav you trust, review the extracted nav block, and push that same menu across every matching page in one pass.

What NAV IT Does
NAV IT finds the main navigation block on a source page, lets you review or edit that block, then replaces matching nav sections across the rest of your pages. It is built for static sites where hand updating every page is slow, repetitive, and easy to mess up.
The Panels
Load Zip
In Cygnus Connect, load a website zip and NAV IT will read every HTML file inside. This is the fastest way to update an entire static site at once.
Load Files
In free mode, load individual HTML pages instead of a full zip. This is useful for testing or for smaller manual batches.
Nav Source
Choose the page that already has the correct menu. NAV IT uses that page as the source of truth for the nav block.
Nav Editor
Review the extracted nav HTML before propagating. You can also make a quick direct edit here if the source block needs a small cleanup first.
File Map and Stats
See how many pages were loaded, how many contain a detectable nav, and which files will be skipped because no matching nav block was found.
How To Use It
Load your site zip in Cygnus Connect, or load a group of HTML files in free mode.
Choose the source page with the best, most current navigation.
Review the nav block in the editor. If needed, make a quick correction before you propagate it.
Press PROPAGATE to update every page where a matching nav block is detected.
Download the rebuilt zip and use that version for deployment.
Cygnus Connect
🔒
Cygnus Connect unlocks full website zip processing so NAV IT can update an entire site in one run. Free mode still lets you load HTML files, inspect the nav, and work through quick navigation jobs.
Good Uses
Adding a new menu item across a static site.
Cleaning up mismatched navigation after a redesign.
Updating header links before repackaging your deployment zip.
Tips
Use the most complete page on the site as your nav source, usually the homepage or the page you edited most recently.
If a page shows up in the skip group, that usually means NAV IT could not find the same nav pattern there and you should inspect that page manually.
Run NAV IT before final packaging so your deployment zip stays consistent from the start.
