When should I use the Reset Navigation feature?

You should use the Reset Navigation feature when you want users to easily navigate through the pages of a sub-section of a website.

For example, the College of Business has a Graduate Programs section. The Graduate Programs section is made up of several pages about the graduate programs as well as subsections for the individual programs.
