Let’s bring the breadcrumb back to SharePoint 2013!

By default SharePoint 2013 design manager  doesn’t have a breadcrumb snippet . If you are going to build master page for sharepoint 2013 and wants breadcrumb in your master page, this was a very helpful feature to navigate back in your site and some users really miss it.

You have to just paste the given bellow code in your master page where you want to show-

<div class=”ms-breadcrumb-box ms-tableCell ms-verticalAlignTop”>
<div class=”ms-breadcrumb-top”>
<div class=”ms-breadcrumb-dropdownBox” style=”display:none;”>
