The site navigation is what visitors use to go from one web page to another easily and quickly. It's a "global" element meaning that you can create the Site Navigation Menu once, and then add it to multiple pages without having to rebuild all of the links and details. Any change you make to that Site Navigation Menu on one of those pages will be applied to every page that the menu is on.
Here is how you can set up your navigation menu:
Click on the + sign to the right of Link List to add pages to the site navigation menu.
In the small window, select Existing Page or File and click Browse.
Select the page name that you want to link to. Then, click Ok and Ok again.
You'll now have Link1 in your link list. With that link selected, look below the link list and you can rename Link1 to something more relevant (like Home).
Repeat these steps to setup all your pages and links.
Once you are done setting up your navigation menu, click Save and Publish to see your changes on your live site. You can also copy and paste this menu to any of your other pages so every page is linked to the others.
Hope that helps!
Here is how you can set up your navigation menu:

- Enter a name for your navigation menu or leave the default name in there and click Ok .

The Links tab is where you will setup you page link.
Click on the + sign to the right of Link List to add pages to the site navigation menu.

In the small window, select Existing Page or File and click Browse.

Brian if you use one of the 'canned' navigations you might be able to type in the vertical line along with the text. I've not tried it so not sure how it would align. The other alternative would be to forego the 'canned' versions and just create the navigation using text and links and add in the vertical lines.

I’m asking how do I just put the vertical lines between the pages on the navigator. PS I use the Website Builder not Site Builder.
