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. ![](/files/OtSGVIdzcdbU3rrzSavN)
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](/meeds-guides/admin-guide/managing-sites-and-pages/managing-websites.md)).
   * In the **Navigation** column, find the same **navigation edit icon** ![](/files/noNyfvTljtjtlsiZrUfp)

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

From there, you will be able to:

* **Add Item** – Allows you to add a page.
* **Copy Link –** copy the url of the page in the clipboard
* **Edit Layout  –** Edit the layout of the page (see [Editing Page Layout](/meeds-guides/admin-guide/managing-sites-and-pages/managing-websites/editing-navigation/editing-pages.md))
* **Edit Properties** – Modify the page's details.
* **Cut Item / Copy Item** – Move or duplicate navigation items.

Continue on [Adding a Page](/meeds-guides/admin-guide/managing-sites-and-pages/managing-websites/editing-navigation/adding-a-page.md)

### **🛡️ Permissions**

When selecting the **Permissions** option for a navigation item, a permissions drawer opens, divided into two main sections:

<figure><img src="/files/4wPCvxp9HwaiVSHPM8BG" alt=""><figcaption><p>Navigation Item Permissions</p></figcaption></figure>

#### **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](/meeds-guides/admin-guide/manage-users/adding-user-groups.md).

#### **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](/meeds-guides/user-guide/administering-a-space/inviting-users-and-guests.md) without an account to view the page.
* **Any** – Grants access to all visitors, even unidentified ones.
* **Group Members** – Allows restricting access to specific [groups](/meeds-guides/admin-guide/manage-users/adding-user-groups.md), 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.
