To navigate your mobile Experience Cloud app, your users can use:

Note In Experience Builder, the features in the Additional Navigation Options section (**Settings** | **Mobile Publisher** | **Navigation**) are available only for Aura sites on the Customer Account Portal, Partner Central, Customer Service, and Help Center templates. The additional navigation options are visible in the settings for LWR sites, but aren’t yet supported in apps created with Mobile Publisher for the LWR platform.

- Navigation tab bar ![bottom navigation tab bar](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-branded_apps_exp_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/cf85363c-215e-4784-bb6a-c5c83c4e7140/branded_apps_exp_cloud/images/nav_tab_bar.png). Shows navigation tabs across the bottom of the screen.
- Hamburger menu ![hamburger menu for navigation](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-branded_apps_exp_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/cf85363c-215e-4784-bb6a-c5c83c4e7140/branded_apps_exp_cloud/images/hamburger_menu.png). The default navigation method.
    - The menu items of the hamburger menu are inherited from the Navigation Menu component.
    - If you implement the navigation tab bar, you can hide the hamburger menu so that the navigation tab bar is the main method of navigation.
- Back button ![back button.png](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-branded_apps_exp_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/cf85363c-215e-4784-bb6a-c5c83c4e7140/branded_apps_exp_cloud/images/back_button.png). The back button is an iOS-specific feature. Android apps have their own standard back button, provided by the Android operating system.
    - The iOS back button is available only for standard Experience Builder themes. Custom themes don't display the back button.
    - By default, the iOS back button replaces the hamburger menu on all pages except the home page. But you can configure your iOS app to show both the hamburger menu and the back button on all pages.

To configure the navigation in your mobile Experience Cloud app:

1. In Experience Builder, go to **Settings** > **Mobile Publisher**.
2. Click **Navigation**.
    
    ![Navigation Tab](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-branded_apps_exp_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/cf85363c-215e-4784-bb6a-c5c83c4e7140/branded_apps_exp_cloud/images/branded_apps_nav_configuration.png)
3. To include the navigation tab bar, set up and style the navigation tabs.
4. If you want to hide the hamburger menu when using the navigation tab, for iOS and Android, unselect **Show hamburger menu**.
5. For iOS only, select
    1. **Show only back button** to show only the back button in your app.
    2. **Show both hamburger menu and back button** to show both the hamburger menu and the back button on all pages.
6. Publish your site.
