Difference between the Before Sign in/up and After Sign in/up topbar
The main difference between the two views is the suggested buttons to use for your users. For example, for new users, and thusly for the Before Sign in/up topbar, it is recommended to have buttons such as:
a. Home (your Landing page that is accessible only to logged-out users)
b. Sign up
c. Sign in
d. Courses / Products Page
e. Contact us
f. About us
For users that decided to sign-up to your school, or even purchased a product, it is recommended to include in the After Sign in/up topbar buttons such as:
a. After Login/Start (this page is accessible only to logged-in users)
b. My Account → Profile → Inbox → Sign Out
c. Courses / Products Page
d. Ask Instructors or Tech Support. You can find out more on how to set up these accounts, here.
e. Learning apps (if enabled, such as Blog, Community, Daily News, Best Resources)
You can always customize your topbar as you wish, and add any navigational buttons you find important, apart from the suggested ones.
Notes:
- When previewing the topbar by clicking on Preview, admins will view the logged-in version by default, since they are already logged in to the school. If you would like to preview the before Sign in/up topbar, you need to visit your LearnWorlds school, while logged out or via an incognito window.
- The Before and After sign in/up topbar is also reflected in the Hamburger menu for mobile devices and screens. For more information on how to further customize the Hamburger menu, you can check this article.
