Examples

Minimum call for getting a navigation with all siblings

[[!siblingNav]]
[[+sn.first]][[+sn.prev]][[+sn.prevlinks]][[+sn.self]][[+sn.nextlinks]][[+sn.next]][[+sn.last]]

Advanced calls for getting a navigation with parents and navigate between childs of multiple parents

[[!siblingNav? &limit=`7` &id=`[[*parent]]` &placeholderPrefix=`snparent.`]]
[[+snparent.prev]][[+snparent.prevlinks]][[+snparent.self]][[+snparent.nextlinks]][[+snparent.next]]

[[!siblingNav? &limit=`9` &parents=`29,261`]]
[[+sn.first]][[+sn.prev]][[+sn.prevlinks]][[+sn.self]][[+sn.nextlinks]][[+sn.next]][[+sn.last]]

You should use firstChildRedirect in parent resources.
