Control Panel Nav

Control Panel Nav reshapes Craft's sidebar around the people using it. Rename, reorder, hide, group, and add navigation items, then deliver the right layout to each user group without bypassing Craft's permissions.

Replace implementation-oriented labels with terms editors recognise, move important destinations to the top, and hide items that add noise. Custom links can point to a specific Craft screen, project documentation, or another useful destination.

Features

• Arrange Craft, plugin, module, and custom items into a useful sequence.
• Use the terminology that makes sense to the people editing the site.
• Remove permitted but unnecessary destinations from a layout.
• Group related destinations and control how child items expand.
• Add internal pages, external resources, dividers, and recognisable icons.
• Give different user groups a navigation designed for their work.
• Deploy layouts and customisations with the rest of the project while keeping live Craft and plugin navigation as the source of truth.
• Surface navigation added by Craft or another plugin so it can be acknowledged and placed deliberately.
• Use site tokens in manual URLs and project-relative SVG icons without hard-coding environment details.
• Move existing customisations to the current model and audit stale navigation keys from the console.
