Recommendation

Use the right widget for the job!

• Call to Actions Widget  - While these are not necessarily the first choice for navigation they are a great visual option since they allow for images to be applied. These promote configured locations. 
• Navigation Widget - Displays and provides links to all locations under a selected Page or Space. This is a great option for landing pages to guide users to the sub pages or spaces.
• Spaces Widget - Displays and provides links to selected Spaces. This is often used for when admins want users to see only the spaces they are members of. 
• Site Map Widget - Displays a navigable list of links to all locations under a selected Page, or Space. This is great option when you want to display not only pages or spaces but the channels below them. 
• Links Widget - Displays and provides links to configured locations. This is best used for when you have a specific area you are targeting with your navigation - eg. a specific wiki article that might not be displayed or even external navigation. 
• Channels Widget - Displays and provides links to all Channels of the selected type located directly under a selected Page, or Space. This is used when you have multiple channels and want to showcase those for your uses to navigate to.
