# Navigating

Meeds aims at letting you navigate easily and have your content and apps at hands at all times. Hence all pages contain two navigation panels on top and on the left hand side.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The look and feel and elements of the navigation bars may vary because admins have full control to customize them (see [Admin Guide](/meeds-guides/admin-guide/setting-up-meeds/advanced-setup/topbar-and-sidebar-customization.md))
