Install

In Discourse, open Admin → Appearance → Themes & components, select Components, choose Install → From a git repository, and enter:

https://github.com/CodeWorksLabs/brand-navigation.git

Prepare before publishing

1. Attach the enabled component only to a non-default staging theme.
2. Open that theme through Discourse theme preview.
3. Configure the brand and sample navigation, or import a validated configuration bundle.
4. Verify desktop, mobile, anonymous, authenticated, and theme-color behavior.
5. Attach it to a visitor-facing theme only when the configuration is ready.

Discourse’s component-level Enabled? control is the single activation switch. Brand Navigation has no second enable setting.

For the complete procedure and current caveats, see the canonical administrator guide.
