Roam Research Basics: How To Create A Navigation Block

The Navigation Block In Action

See this content in the original post

Step 1: On Any Page Setup A List Of Links You Want To Navigate

In this case, I created a Main Hub. Remember to nest all links inside a parent block. Below, Navigation is the title of my parent block.

Step 2: Navigate To Every Link And Insert This Embed

I place each navigation block at the head of the page.

  • Trigger: “/block embed“

  • The program will prompt you to search for a block. Search for the name of your navigation block parent (ie. like above, mine is Navigation).

What A Block Embed Can Do

  • You can edit inside this embed and changes will be made globally.

  • You can collapse all links under the parent block by clicking on the far left border.

  • … and navigate via references

  • … and click on each link (page title) to expand all blocks within each page
