An example sidebar: one section dragged to the top and another hidden. The dashboard stays pinned.

Arrange

## Muscle memory that follows you.

Rearrange the sidebar in the sidebar itself, top-level sections and the pages inside them. Your arrangement belongs to you, so it stays the same when you switch branch. A hidden item keeps its place, ready to come back where you left it.

-   **Back to the original.** Reset the arrangement at any time.
    

Rearranging, step by step.

Bringing things back

## Nothing hidden is hard to find again.

In rearrange mode every item is shown, hidden ones included, so unhiding is one click. Any section holding something you hid opens on its own, so a hidden page inside a closed group is never out of sight.

-   **Room to aim.** Rows are taller and further apart while you rearrange, so the drag handle and hide button are easy to hit.
    
-   **Empty sections tidy themselves.** Hide every page in a section and the section disappears too, then returns when you unhide one.
    

Unhiding a page inside a section that opened on its own.

Hiding

## Tidier, not locked away.

Hiding only tidies your menu. A link to the page still opens it, and search still lists it, under “Hidden from your sidebar”, so you can tell it exists. What you are allowed to open is still decided by your role.

-   **Two that always stay.** The dashboard and School settings cannot be moved or hidden, so there is always a way back.
    

What hiding changes, and what it does not.
