Is there a way to have complete control of the glide page navbar? Like if I want to add some links there or buttons. Is there a way to do that? Thanks!! ---

@Robert_Petitto what’s the best way to add a ‘dashboard login’ button with a hyperlink so that users can navigate to the subpage? Are there specific templates with this capability? How do others solve for this? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/b/9b474204651bd463891c1d937ef35ba788027257.png) ---

That looks like it’s just the standard tab menu. So if you create a new tab called “Dashboard Login”, you’ll get something that looks like that by default. Make sure you have set the nav bar at the top via Settings-\>Appearance-\>Navigation-\>Position-\>Top ![Screen Shot 2022-12-19 at 11.05.01 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/9/a9b7c9a0cada755be43e90e4eae52ed3904575bb.png) ---

Hello @Darren_Murphy thanks for the feedback, but what you are saying is exactly what I did. But my question was, is there a way to put some buttons in the navbar? or some links? ---

If make your Privacy Settings Public with optional sign-in, you should get a sign-in button in the nav bar. ---

Short answer is no. You can have links to tabs, sign in buttons, and a link to the user profile. That’s it. No customization beyond that. ---

We are essentially trying to add two links to tabs, but it seems not to be working…so there might be something that we are not configuring correctly then? ---

Can you show the tab panel in the upper left corner of the builder? Have you added tabs there? Are they set as visible? ---

Yp that’s what I was asking if I can have some customization links or buttons? But if not, what else can I try to make it look like it? ---

Yp my tabs are visible in the navbar. Here is the screenshot ![Screenshot 2022-12-20 092057](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/d/4d9835413965ec26a5dd3854ed24c024d6898619.png) ---

On the front end, when a user clicks on “Join as a Dev Hub” there is a subpage that renders with a button which then takes the user to the expected tab. Is this a limitation of Glide app across all templates? Because it is not a great user experience ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/d/ed86670eab59d54653079537207c9475aa5492db.png) ---

It looks like your button opens a google docs form. Why wouldn’t you build that form into your page project using a form container on the ‘Join as a Dev Hub’ tab, instead of using a button to take the user outside of the page? That would be a much better experience for the user. ---

In short, no, you can’t use a “tab click” as a way to open an external link. I thought that would be nice as a button on your Homepage tab, for example. ---

@Mugisha_Elvis This can definitely be done. The work around would be to make the real nav bar on the side, then add a container with links or Action Buttons to link to whatever you want. You can then just duplicate or recreate that Container to all of your pages. ![Screenshot 2024-05-15 at 6.54.00 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/e/7e462d41302f4fc544829f050f876897492d36aa.png)
