Tailoring default navigation and content

You can tailor many aspects of your out-of-the-box sites without worrying that your changes will be overwritten on upgrade. Items that will be overwritten during an upgrade that you want to tailor can be copied and any needed modifications made to the copy.

There is typically no need to copy the Staff site. In most cases, you can use the out-of-the-box Staff site and tailor it to your specific needs.
