Managed navigation and related configuration in SharePoint 2013

A well-designed navigation can tell your site's users a wealth of information about the business, products, and services provided by the site. By updating the taxonomy behind the navigation, you can drive your business and keep updating without having to recreate its site navigation during the process. In SharePoint 2013, you can use managed navigation to design managed metadata-driven Web site navigation and to create SEO-friendly URLs that originate from managed navigation structures.
