# Your sidebar

Arrange your sidebar where it is, add sections of your own with any inbox folder, team, view, mail folder or page, and drag rows where you want them.

Your sidebar is yours: the order of its sections, what it hides, your favorites, the numbers beside rows and sections you add yourself. Nobody else sees your choices, and each workspace keeps its own. Your other tabs and devices follow your changes as you make them.

## Arrange it where it is

You can arrange the sidebar at any time, without opening anything first:

- **Drag** a row or a section's title to move it. With a mouse, drag past a few pixels. On a phone, hold a row for a moment, then drag. A blue line shows where it will land: within its section, into **Favorites**, or into a section of your own.
- **Double-click** a row's name or a section's title to rename it. **Enter** saves and **Escape** keeps the old name.
- **Each section's ⋯**, next to its title, renames it, gives it an emoji, moves it up or down and hides it. **Favorites** and your own sections also have **Add** there.
- **Each row's ⋯** has **Rename in sidebar**, **Change icon**, **Move up** and **Move down**, along with its number, favorites and hiding.
- **From the keyboard**, on the row that has the focus (<kbd>g</kbd> then <kbd>b</kbd> moves there): <kbd>F2</kbd> renames it, <kbd>mod</kbd> <kbd>shift</kbd> <kbd>↑</kbd> and <kbd>↓</kbd> move it, <kbd>p</kbd> pins it to **Favorites** or takes it off, <kbd>h</kbd> hides it, and <kbd>del</kbd> takes it out of **Favorites** or your own section. See [Keyboard shortcuts](/guides/keyboard-shortcuts/).
- **A ticket inbox or team shown as a section of its own** moves, hides and takes a name like any other section, and its ⋯ has **Back into Tickets** or **Back into Teams**.

Every menu in the sidebar ends with **Edit sidebar** and **Customize sidebar**. **Customize**, at the bottom of the sidebar next to **Settings**, opens edit mode, where you can change many things at once.

## Edit your sidebar

Edit mode shows every section and row with its handle and its eye, hidden ones included. Open it with **Customize** at the bottom of the sidebar, **Edit sidebar** in any menu or the user menu, a right-click on an empty part of the sidebar, or press **g** then **e**.

- **Drag** a section or a row by its handle. Sections move among sections. A row moves within its section, into **Favorites**, or into a section of your own. Inbox, Mail accounts, Teams and Workspace keep the order you give their rows. Views follow the workspace's own order, and Pages the page tree that everyone shares.
- **Hide** a section or a row with its eye. Hidden things stay listed, dimmed, so you can bring them back with one click.
- **Rename** any section or row by clicking its name, built-in ones included: **Enter** saves, **Escape** keeps the old one and an empty name brings back its own. The name is yours alone: the team, view or page keeps its own for everyone else. Outside edit mode, a row's menu has **Rename in sidebar**.
- **Give any of them an emoji** with the icon beside the name.
- **Each row's ⋯** has Rename, Change icon, Reset name and icon, Number, Pin to favorites, Add to a section and Hide.
- **+ Add** under **Favorites** pins inbox folders, teams, views and mail boxes and stars pages.
- **Add** rows with **+ Add** at the end of your sections, or a new section with **+ New section**.

The bar on top has **Done** (or press **Escape**), **Layouts**, **Reset** and **More**. **Reset** puts every section and row back in its place and shows them again, keeping your own sections and favorites. **More** has **Copy a Space** and **More options** for the numbers beside rows and the mail options.

The red row that counts visitors waiting in live chat is hidden until you turn it on: show it with its eye in edit mode, or in **Customize sidebar**. The ticket lists keep their own notice of waiting visitors either way.

Removing a row, hiding something or deleting a section shows a toast with **Undo**.

On a phone, edit mode opens in the sidebar drawer, and handles drag with your finger. With the sidebar collapsed, it opens for editing and folds back when you are done.

## Start from a layout

**Start from a layout** shows a few arrangements and previews your sidebar with each before you pick one:

- **Support desk**: tickets first, with your teams and views close by. Mail and Pages are hidden.
- **Mail first**: your inboxes on top, then tickets and the rest.
- **Docs first**: Pages on top, then the desk.
- **Minimal**: Favorites, the inbox, mail and pages.

A layout changes the order and which built-in sections show. Your own sections, favorites and the rows you hid inside sections stay. The toast has **Undo**.

## Add to your sidebar

Anything you open often can sit in your sidebar, in **Favorites** or in a section of your own.

- **From a row.** Right-click a row in the sidebar, or use its **⋯** button, and choose **Add to sidebar**. Pick **Favorites**, one of your sections, or **New section**.
- **From a page.** A page's **⋯** menu has **Add to sidebar** too, for pages, databases and canvases.
- **From a list.** Beside the title of an inbox folder, a team inbox or a view, the bookmark button adds it to your sidebar.
- **By dragging.** Drag a page's title, or the title of an inbox folder, team inbox or view, into the sidebar: onto **Favorites**, onto one of your sections where you want it, or onto **Drop here for a new section**, which shows at the end while you drag.

Everything happens in place, in a menu or a small popup. You never leave what you are doing for Settings.

## Sections of your own

A section of your own holds rows of anything in the workspace: inbox folders, teams, views, mail boxes, accounts and folders, pages, databases, canvases and whole teamspaces. Each row shows its live number, as it does in its own section.

- **Add a section.** Hover the sidebar and click **Add section** under the sections, or choose **New section** in any row's **Add to sidebar**.
- **Add rows.** Click **+** on the section's title. A popup lists everything the workspace offers, with a search. A row already in another of your sections moves to this one.
- **Arrange.** Drag rows to reorder them, or into another of your sections. The section's **⋯** menu renames it, moves it up or down, folds it and deletes it.
- **Rename a row.** Its menu has **Rename in sidebar**, **Number**, **Move to section** and **Remove from sidebar**. The name is yours; the thing it opens keeps its own.

A section holds 60 rows, and your sections 300 in all. Mail rows show only while the workspace has Mail.

## One row lights up

When the same thing is a row in more than one place, a view under **Views** and in **Favorites** for example, the row you clicked is the one that lights up, like a tab. Opened from anywhere else, every row of it lights up.

## More options

**More options**, in edit mode's **⋯** menu and the sidebar's right-click menu, lists every section in order, the built-in ones and your own. Drag them, or use the arrows, to change the order. Hide a built-in section with its eye, and choose the number its rows show. Your own sections can be renamed and deleted there, and **Start from a Space** copies the sections of one of your [Spaces](/guides/workspaces/) with this workspace's rows.

> **Good to know**
>
> Deleting a section only takes its rows out of your sidebar. The folders, views and pages they open stay as they are.

## Spaces

With a [Space](/guides/workspaces/) picked in the switcher, **Edit sidebar** edits that Space in place the same way: drag its sections and rows, rename them, give them an emoji, add rows from any of your workspaces and add sections. Its name, icon, colour and workspace badges are under **Space settings** in the bar's **⋯** menu.
