I'm trying to have a collapsible bootstrap 4 navigation with the toggle button on the left-hand side. This isn't a problem, but I'm also trying to have an action button (or buttons) on the right side of the navigation.
How can I have buttons/links on the right-hand side that are excluded from the navbar-collapse menu. Additionally, how can I avoid the navbar-collapse menu pushing down these items when expanded? I can float the right button but this also causes issues.

You would have to use the flexbox utils like this...
