Each site can be applied with its own master pages. Using the Site Settings → Master Page option under the "Look and feel" section, an administrator can change the site master page or system master page and provide an alternate CSS file. For a child site, either the master page can be inherited from the parent or it can apply one on its own. Figure 23-24 depicts the site master page settings page.

- Look and Feel—Navigation
Using the Site Setting → Navigation option under the "Look and Feel" section, the site's global navigation (top menu) and the current navigation (left navigation) can be changed.
