Navigation is a fundamental aspect of structuring a Meeds site. Properly configuring navigation ensures that users can efficiently access relevant content, navigate between sections, and maintain a logical flow throughout the platform. This guide details how administrators can edit and manage site navigation, including adding, removing, and organizing navigation items.

### &#x20;:tools: How to edit navigation?

To modify the site navigation, there are two primary methods:

1. **From Any Page on the Site:**
   * If you have the appropriate permissions, you will see a **"Site Navigation"** icon in the top bar next to the site name. ![](https://3823946396-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1i2FMkbhfl9LXQQfUyES%2Fuploads%2FjqzCdBr55scEnoalPzKh%2Fsite-navigation-icon.png?alt=media\&token=426424a8-0c9a-4293-a75a-cb70d08f8fb6)
2. **From the Administration Interface:**
   * Click on the **Administration** icon in the top bar (⚙️).
   * In the Administration menu, navigate to **Development > Sites** (see [Customizing Sites](https://docs.meeds.io/meeds-guides/admin-guide/managing-sites-and-pages/managing-websites)).
   * In the **Navigation** column, find the same **navigation edit icon** ![](https://3823946396-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1i2FMkbhfl9LXQQfUyES%2Fuploads%2FpZP5GzUuK1NYrUXnIA5w%2Fsite-navigation-icon.png?alt=media\&token=d8868969-deef-479d-a346-7be26e7cdb72)

Clicking the navigation icon opens the **Site Navigation drawer**, where navigation can be edited similarly to the page-level editor.

#### **1. Who Can Edit This Page?**

This section defines who has the right to **modify the page layout, appearance, and properties**. There are two options:

* **Administrators** – Only global administrators can edit this page.
* **Group Members** – Allows specifying a group that will have editing permissions. When selected, an autocomplete field appears where you can enter the name of a [group](https://docs.meeds.io/meeds-guides/admin-guide/manage-users/adding-user-groups).

#### **2. Who Can View This Page?**

This section controls who has access to view the page. Options include:

* **Administrators** – Always have access to view all pages (this cannot be deselected).
* **Users** – Authenticated users with an account on the platform.
* **Guests** – Allows [guest users](https://docs.meeds.io/meeds-guides/user-guide/administering-a-space/inviting-users-and-guests) without an account to view the page.
* **Any** – Grants access to all visitors, even unidentified ones.
* **Group Members** – Allows restricting access to specific [groups](https://docs.meeds.io/meeds-guides/admin-guide/manage-users/adding-user-groups), with an autocomplete field to select the group.

By configuring these options, administrators can ensure proper access control and visibility management for different types of users.

To modify access permissions:

1. Select the navigation item.
2. Open the **Permissions** tab.
3. Assign visibility settings based on user roles.
4. Click **Save** to enforce the new permissions.
