The rule

A user needs to move quickly between sections of a long article.

A navigation menu helps the user jump to different parts of the content. This menu works well for articles with 6 to 12 main sections.

A developer should use this navigation for articles or pages with 6 to 12 named sections. The user can quickly go to any section without getting lost. This navigation works on both desktop and mobile devices. On desktop, the menu shows as a row. On mobile, a menu icon opens a list of sections.

A developer creates a long online guide with 10 chapters. The developer adds a navigation menu to the guide. A student reading the guide can click a chapter name in the menu. The page then scrolls directly to that chapter. This helps the student find information fast.
