Problem Statement and Value Proposition
While the Header is designed around an out-of-the-box experience that works for many organizations, that design may not work for everyone. The goal of this project is to make the Header a customizable feature, allowing organizations to make changes to components in the Header that reflect their specific needs and goals. As such, organizations may choose to use the out-of-the-box header, or they may choose to customize parts of the Header to meet their specific needs.
Current State Experience
From the perspective of learners and course teams, there are four versions of the Header in the LMS UI.
...
A logo icon which links out to the registration/authentication page
An Explore Courses button which leads to the course catalog
A Register for free button which links out to the registration/authentication page
A Sign in button which links out to the registration/authentication page
User Stories

In the logged out state, I want to be able to customize the Explore Courses button and the Register for Free button so that I can use any buttons and any custom links I’d like.
