I'm trying to set/verify the Previous and Next article links (Linear Navigation) for this article, but I can't find any control for it in the new editor. I checked the old-style article editor (/world/article/.../edit) first — its Navigation tab only shows Parent Category, Parent Article, and Position/Weight. No Linear Navigation option appears there.   I then switched to the new Athena/Articles & World Manager editor (URL above) specifically to look for it, based on community documentation (the "Athena Transition Guide," worldanvil.com/w/rin-s-overworld-those2nerds/a/athena-transition-guide-article) which states Linear Navigation now lives under an "Advanced" section/button in the new interface. However, I cannot find any "Advanced" section or button anywhere in the new editor for this article.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the article "Fashions and Fads in the 1950s" in the new Articles & World Manager editor Look for a way to set the Previous/Next article (Linear Navigation) No such option is visible anywhere in the interface, including under any "Advanced" menu or button

Hey, it's indeed available in the new interface, but it is just a tad hidden. In your article, open the Settings tab (screw icon) and then expand the "Advanced Options" and find the Article Navigation section. Under it are the Previous and Next article selects.

Since this isn't a bug, I will be closing this report but feel free to comment below if you still have any questions or issues!
