Story navigation is an optional story element that provides readers with links to the main sections of your story.

It also gives readers a visual indication of their current location in the story.

The story navigation bar appears at the top of the story.

Note:
Each heading link has a 30-character limit. If any of the selected headings exceed the 30-character limit, you can change the name of the heading links for the navigation bar.
