title: Main Header Component

> ##### Reminder!
> AdminLTE uses all of Bootstrap 4 components. It's a good start to review the [Bootstrap documentation](https://getbootstrap.com/) to get an idea of the various components that this documentation __does not__ cover.

> ##### Tip!
> If you go through the example pages and would like to copy a component, right-click on the component and choose "inspect element" to get to the HTML quicker than scanning the HTML page.

The main header contains the navbar. Construction of the navbar differs slightly from Bootstrap because it has components that Bootstrap doesn't provide. The navbar can be constructed in two ways. This is an example for the normal navbar and next we will provide an example for the top nav layout with a logo too.

> ##### Tip!
> To get a bigger dropdown menu you can add `.dropdown-menu-lg` or `.dropdown-menu-xl` to `.dropdown-menu`.
> You can also get the legacy dropdown offset with adding `.dropdown-legacy` to `.main-header`.
