I've created a custom app plugin for Kibana 7.16.3. I'd like to add a header similar to other apps in Kibana. For example...

Dev Tools has a header that works like a link. I'd like to do something similar for my app that shows the app's home, it's sub windows, etc. Can you point me to some code that shows how to do this?

Thanks,  
Chris

Hi and welcome to our community

You can modify Kibana's breadcrumb like here:

> <https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/src/plugins/discover/public/utils/breadcrumbs.ts>

In short: you've to use `chrome.setBreadcrumbs` for that

Best,  
Matthias
