Hiding the Breadcrumb
Edit online

The main editing pane includes a breadcrumb stripe at the bottom of the pane that shows the hierarchical XML structure of the current document. It is a helpful tool for users that want to be able to visualize or navigate the XML element structure within a document. If your users do not have a need for this breadcrumb, it is possible to hide it in the interface.

To hide the breadcrumb, set the hideBreadcrumb property in a plugin (using the LoadingOptions type definition from the Workspace API).
  • Possible values for the hideBreadcrumb property are:
    • false - The breadcrumb is visible in the interface.
    • true - The breadcrumb is not displayed in the interface.

    You can set this property in your plugin's JavaScript code like this: 

goog.events.listen(workspace, 
sync.api.Workspace.EventType.BEFORE_EDITOR_LOADED, function(e) {
    e.options.hideBreadcrumb = 'true';
});
Tip: You can also use this property in an embedded link that launches Web Author so that when a user clicks the constructed link, the breadcrumb is not displayed.
