📦 New package: Grouped Navigation for Umbraco 17 (v1.0.0) Too many sections crammed into your backoffice header? Grouped Navigation lets you group them into dropdowns, configured entirely from

appsettings.json

. Put Settings, Users and Members under a "Management" menu, or put Forms, Workflow and Commerce under "Add-ons". You set the label, the icon and the order. ✨ Highlights • Config-driven, with environment variable overrides • Respects permissions: users only see sections they can access • A group with one visible section renders as a plain tab, and empty groups are hidden • Invalid config falls back to the native navigation and logs a warning •

"Enabled": false

Thanks for the tip

Nice idea - the one that gets me is that 90% of packages just shove some dashboard in settings and then you end up with loads there too. Curious whats the laptop/computer icon in your header bar app for. Anything fun?!

@Luuk Peters (Proud Nerds) can probably tell you 😄

Is it UmbraDesktop ?!?

Yes

Yep 🙂

Its the hacked header app to start umbradesktop if you dont auto boot into the desktop

Good to know - can you tell I've not tried it 🙈

17.4.0 is just out, good moment to try it 😆
