I am not sure if I understood correctly the purpose of menu:navigation
and NavigationMenu in general and when it recommended to use them.

It is recommended to use context/menu:navigation/view_link or just
'+view-name'?

I could not find any hints in the review checklists.

I tried to write it down here:

If I added the wrong information please let me know and I will change
the page.

Many thanks!
