# Navigation Bars

## Navigation Bars <a href="#docs-internal-guid-9276b14b-7fff-d362-2594-7fe32bd95029" id="docs-internal-guid-9276b14b-7fff-d362-2594-7fe32bd95029"></a>

The Research AMP theme has a number of navigation areas, designed to help users navigate your site:

**Primary Navigation,** which appears alongside the logo in the default configuration. At the time of installation, Research AMP will create a number of default navigation items in this area, including a ‘Research Topics’ item that is automatically populated with a list of Research Topics as you create or edit them.

You may change the Navigation Bar using the site editor. For example, you may wish to rename "research reviews" something else; in which case you will change the text in the navigation bar, home page, and article archive templates.&#x20;

**Secondary Navigation,** which appears in a black bar at the top of the page. By default, this area contains links to ‘Get Started’, ‘Contact’, and the WordPress login page, as well as some quick links for editing the page, which you will see only if you are logged in as an administrator of the site.

**Footer Navigation** which appears in the site footer. By default, this contains a navigation structure similar to Primary Navigation, minus the Research Topics dropdown.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://research-amp.gitbook.io/research-amp-user-documentation/configuration/customization-and-layout/navigation-bars.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
