My Site Quick Launch Navigation in SharePoint 2010 Defaults
March 31, 2011 2 Comments
In SharePoint 2010, it is very easy to modify the tabs that appear on the profile pages
These are managed by the Quick Launch. To edit these, just go to Site Actions > Site Settings > Look and Feel > Quick launch
So you can add and remove to your heart’s desire. However – this will affect ALL profile pages, not just your own, so, you do need the proper permissions.
So, I routinely have clients that are looking to remove some of these tabs, since there is no option to hide them. So, at some point, say when they go back and enable social features, or allow people to create My Sites, they need to get those links back. Below is a listing of each of the default links, their order, as well as the link itself, in case you ever need to “restore” these. Below, where <My Site Location>, this should reference the relative URL of where your My Sites location is, such as /sites/My/.
