Body
When you log into the current Blackboard site, the navigation appears at the top of the tab in a tabbed format:
With Base Navigation, the top tabbed navigation is replaced with a Global Navigation menu that appears on the left side of the site, similar to the menu that you use in your courses. This menu will persist on the page no matter where you navigate to in the site. Even when you enter your courses, the main menu will still appear on the left side of the site:
