    2. NOTE: a navigation Term Set can only be configured once to a site, if you would like to reuse your Term Set for navigation on another peer site or another Site Collection, or even another Web Application, then you will need to create another Term Set and pin the first level terms (with children) to your existing Term Set.  You can see this in the screen shot below on the Term Set “Supply Chain Navigation”.
