Platform
Product overview
LightPath is an enterprise-grade intranet solution for SharePoint Online that transforms the standard SharePoint navigation experience into a comprehensive, customizable, and feature-rich navigation system. LightPath gives organizations centralized control over site navigation, branding, content discovery, and user engagement across their SharePoint ecosystem.
Administration
The LightPath Admin web part is the no-code control center for your tenant: pick a hub and term set, then configure navigation, branding, optional footer, search, analytics, and announcements from one interface—without redeploying code for every change.
Admin web part — configuration tabs
Explore each area of the admin interface: short overview, screen recording, and what you can configure.
Options

- Feature toggles for search, footer, web analytics, and announcements
- Menu position (left, center, right) and interaction mode (click or hover)
- Breadcrumb visibility and optional site-level navigation extensions
Typical prerequisites
- Active LightPath license (validated on load)
- Site Collection Admin or equivalent on the hub; Term Store access for navigation taxonomy
- SharePoint Online hub site and modern pages; term group/term set for menu structure
Common questions
Documentation, admin experience, platform fit, and integrations—before you roll out.
Where can we find detailed product documentation?
This site is a public overview. Full web-part and configuration documentation is typically delivered by Klarinet or your implementation partner as part of onboarding—release notes, admin guides, and customer-specific runbooks may live in your partner portal or SharePoint workspace, not here. Ask your project contact for the latest doc set and update cadence.
Can non-technical admins configure LightPath?
Yes. The Admin web part is designed for site owners and communications staff: pick a hub, manage navigation terms, adjust branding colors, toggle features, edit the footer, and schedule announcements without Visual Studio. Tenant-level permissions (e.g. Site Collection Admin, Term Store access) are still required for initial setup.
Is LightPath a SharePoint add-in or an SPFx solution?
LightPath is implemented with the SharePoint Framework (SPFx): web parts for pages and application customizers for tenant-wide navigation, footer, announcements, and analytics. It is not a classic SharePoint Add-in model. Deployment uses app catalog packages consistent with Microsoft’s recommended patterns for SharePoint Online.
Does LightPath integrate with Microsoft Graph and Azure OpenAI?
Yes, when enabled in your tenant. The Greeting web part uses Microsoft Graph for meetings, files, and tasks. Agentic FAQ Chat can use Azure OpenAI and SharePoint search through secured Azure Functions you configure in your subscription. Exact APIs and permissions depend on your tenant and licensing.
