Navigate to the settings icon in the sidebar and select.
Navigate to Navigation Menu → Configuration, and select.
Locate the toggle at the top of the drawer to enable or disable navigation.
You'll find a real-time preview on the right side of the screen.
Styles and Compatibility
Unlike the previous approach, where changes affected the entire menu, you can now select a specific style when adding a new entry. We've introduced three new styles in addition to the existing ones:
...
London and Sydney → These styles offer a familiar layout with minor design enhancements.
Denver → A visually oriented style featuring an image with multiple links, offering different image sizes (S, M, L) and design options (icon or plain text).
Palo Alto → Choose from a wide range of icons (including custom ones from MacroSuite Styleguide) to create a visually appealing menu.
Hum → A minimalistic style with a simple link – perfect for streamlined navigation
Intranet Entry
An Intranet entry is now a permanent addition at the beginning of the menu.
This entry links to the Cosmos Dashboard.
While the name can be customized, it cannot be deleted.
Editing entries
Click on the entry edit icon.
Edit the icon and the entry title.
Toggle icons and descriptions on/off if needed.
Editing Subentries
Click on the subentry edit icon.

Design Customization

Personalization with Collections
Create Collections to group users by specific criteria.
Assign menu entries to specific Collections, tailoring the menu for different teams.
Space-Based Navigation
