Menu Navigation

Navigation conveniently organizes all of your applications on the left sidebar, making it easy for you to locate the specific app you are looking for.

The sidebar layout helps you stay organized by providing a clear and structured view of all your apps, reducing clutter and confusion. By grouping your apps together in the sidebar, navigation simplifies the process of finding and selecting the app you need to use.

In the Navigation editor, click + New to add menu items.

Select a menu item, choose the app to navigate to, and change the label and icon if needed. The app is displayed on the canvas in real time.

Add submenu items

To add submenu items, click ··· > Add submenu item, or drag ⋮⋮ to make one menu item subordinated to another.
