 - Navbars require a wrapping `.navbar` and a [color scheme](#color-schemes).
 - Navbars and their contents are fluid by default. Use [optional containers](#containers) to limit their horizontal width.
-- Use `.pull-*-left` and `.pull-*-right` to quickly align sub-components.
+- Use `.float-*-left` and `.float-*-right` to quickly align sub-components.
 - Ensure accessibility by using a `<nav>` element or, if using a more generic element such as a `<div>`, add a `role="navigation"` to every navbar to explicitly identify it as a landmark region for users of assistive technologies.

 - `.navbar-brand` for your company, product, or project name
 - `.navbar-nav` for a full-height and lightweight navigation (including support for dropdowns)
 - `.navbar-toggler` for use with our collapse plugin and other [navigation toggling](#collapsible-content) behaviors.

 The `.navbar-brand` can be applied to most elements, but an anchor works best as some elements might require utility classes or custom styles.

 ### Nav
 
 Navbar navigation is similar to our regular nav options—use the `.nav` base class with a modifier to achieve a particular look. In this case you'll want `.nav.navbar-nav`.
 
+Active states—with `.active`—to indicate the current page can be applied directly to `.nav-link`s or their immediate parent `.nav-item`s.

+You may also utilize dropdowns in your navbar nav. Dropdown menus require a wrapping element for positioning, so be sure to use separate and nested elements for `.nav-item` and `.nav-link` as shown below.
+
+{% example html %}
+<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-faded">
+  <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
+    <li class="nav-item active">
+      <a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>

+    </li>
+  </ul>
+</nav>
+{% endexample %}
+
+### Forms
+
+Place various form controls and components within a navbar with `.form-inline`. Align them with `.float-` utilities as needed.
+
+{% example html %}
+<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-faded">
+  <form class="form-inline float-xs-left">
+    <input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Search">
+    <button class="btn btn-outline-success" type="submit">Search</button>
+  </form>
+</nav>
+{% endexample %}
+
+Input groups work, too:
+
+{% example html %}
+<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-faded">
+  <form class="form-inline float-xs-left">
+    <div class="input-group">
+      <span class="input-group-addon" id="basic-addon1">@</span>
+      <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-describedby="basic-addon1">
+    </div>
+  </form>
+</nav>
+{% endexample %}
+
+Various buttons are supported as part of these navbar forms, too. This is also a great reminder that vertical alignment utilites can be used to align different sized elements.
+
+{% example html %}
+<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-faded">
+  <form class="form-inline float-xs-left">
+    <button class="btn btn-outline-success" type="button">Main button</button>
+    <button class="btn btn-sm align-middle btn-outline-secondary" type="button">Smaller button</button>
+  </form>
+</nav>
+{% endexample %}
+
+### Text
+
+Navbars may contain bits of text with the help of `.navbar-text`. This class adjusts vertical alignment and horizontal spacing for strings of text.
+
+{% example html %}
+<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-faded">
+  <span class="navbar-text">
+    Navbar text with an inline element
+  </span>
+</nav>
+{% endexample %}
+
+Using our utility classes, you can change the alignment and appearance of your navbar text.
+
+{% example html %}
+<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-faded">
+  <span class="navbar-text float-xs-right text-muted">
+    Muted navbar text that's floated right
+  </span>
+</nav>
+{% endexample %}
+
+Similarly, you can use utility classes to align navbar text to other navbar elements like the brand and navigation (which are automatically floated already).
+
+{% example html %}
+<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-faded">
+  <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
+  <span class="navbar-text float-xs-left">
+    Navbar text that's floated left
+  </span>
+</nav>
