# Navigation

> Choose which menu sections your lab shows in the sidebar and on phones, and the order they come in.

**Navigation** lets you tidy the menu for everyone in your lab: turn off sections you never use and move the ones you use most to the top. Names stay exactly as they are — you change only what shows and in what order.

<Path steps={['Sidebar', 'Settings', 'Team', 'Navigation']} />

<TaskHeader before="Owner or manager access" time="Under five minutes" after="Everyone sees the menu you chose, in the order you chose" />

## What this tab controls

| Control | What it does | Default |
| - | - | - |
| Section switch | Shows or hides that section in the sidebar and in the phone menu | All on |
| Page switches under a section | Shows or hides a single page inside it, such as **Payments**. When every page under a section is off, the section is left out too | All on |
| **Up** and **Down** buttons | Move a section one place within its group. Sections stay inside their own group | The standard order |
| **Menu preview** | Shows the menu as it will look before you save, before role access is applied | — |
| **Save** | Saves your choices. Disabled until you change something | — |
| **Reset to standard navigation** | Brings every section back, in the standard order, after you confirm | — |

Some entries are locked and show **Always shown**: Lab Station. They are where people land, so they cannot be turned off.

## Set it up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the tab">
    Go to **Settings**, then **Team**, then **Navigation**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn off what you do not use">
    Switch a section off. To hide just one page, switch off that page under its section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Put the busiest sections first">
    Use **Up** and **Down** beside a section. Check the **Menu preview** as you go.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Select **Save**. The sidebar and the phone menu update straight away for you, and for everyone else the next time their page loads.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What changes once you save

* **Everyone in the lab sees the same menu.** This is a lab-wide choice, not a personal one.
* **Hidden means hidden from the menu only.** A section you turn off can still be opened from a link or a bookmark, so nobody loses work they have open or a link someone sent them.
* **Who may open what is unchanged.** Each role still lands where it did, and access rules are not touched.
* **Names do not change.** You cannot rename sections here.
* **Get Started** appears at the top while your setup is incomplete, whatever you choose.
* **Settings** and the **Audit Log** are never affected.

## Check it worked

Look at the sidebar: the sections you turned off are gone and the rest follow your order. On a phone, open the menu and compare. Open a section you hid by its link — it still opens.

## Common issues

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I can't see this tab">
    Only the lab owner or a manager sees **Navigation**. Ask one of them to make the change.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A section I turned off still opens">
    That is by design. Turning a section off hides it from the menu; it does not block the page. To stop someone opening a page, use their access settings instead.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I turned off every page under a section and the section disappeared">
    A section with nothing under it would be an empty row, so it is left out. Turn one page back on to bring it back.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A switch is greyed out">
    Either the entry is locked (**Always shown**).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Save is greyed out">
    You have not changed anything yet, or your role cannot change the menu.
  </Accordion>
