Navigation tips.

1) Navigating to a Site
When you first log into Trunk you will be in a site known as My Workspace.
To navigate to a course or project site, select the link to the site from your Quicklinks or from the lists contained under the My Sites tab.

2) Site Home page and tool home pages
When you login to Trunk or click the link to go to a site, you will always arrive on the Home page of that site. You can tell you’re on the home page because the tool will be orange. To move to another tool, simply select it from the tools menu. Your screen will refresh and you will be on the home page of that tool. (eg Resources home, assignments home, calendar home).

3) Returning to a tool home page
If you are working in a tool and wish to return to the home or top level page of that tool, you have two options. You may click the Reset button to the left of the tool title, which looks like two arrows going around in a circle. Alternatively, you can scroll to the bottom of the page and select the button labeled either Cancel of Back.

4) Avoid the Back Button
Trunk does not work well with the back button of your browser. We recommend using the guidelines above for moving around in the Trunk interface.
