Umbraco Routing

What is it?

Routing in Umbraco's backoffice enables navigation between sections, dashboards, and workspaces using pathname-based URLs. Sections serve as primary organizational dividers with entry points via section views, dashboards, or custom elements. Custom routing can be built using umb-router-slot with route definitions that support parameters and redirects.
