Navigate Destiny
Destiny offers efficient navigation between tasks, sites, and Follett Software products.
The primary navigation bar, available at the top of every page, lets you quickly jump between areas in Destiny and across Follett products.

to navigate between Follett Software products and pages. The options you see will vary based on your access level, region, and product access. The full list of site-level options includes:
