Using the Navigation Menu

The navigation menu is located on the left-hand side of the application. It gives you access to all the pages of the application, including the pages that you may have duplicated, or that may have been shared with you. Pages are grouped by sections. You can collapse and expand the navigation menu and its sections, add custom sections, and search for pages.

Note:
