Customize navigation

By default, there are two navigation areas to customize:

  • Top Navigation: the top vertical menu displays top-level items of the site's structure. Add a new item to the top navigation or customize the existing ones.

  • Left sidebar: add or remove items to and from the Main Menu on the left. Change the listing order of Collections, View Style, and Hide or Unhide Collection from the left menu.

How to customize the top navigation

  1. Log in with your admin account > click on the Profile Picture on top-right > Administration > Design Studio > Header and Sidebar > hover over the Top navigation and click on the gear icon to edit.

  2. From the Top Navigation settings:

  • Select one of the Presets styles.

  • Click on the Sections tab to open up the options for:

    • Logo - choose the size of the logo or disable it.

    • Actions - enable/disable options like Create post, notifications, search, main menu, etc.
