In the sidebar, open **Administration**, then choose **Sidebar Navigation** under **Workspace**, or select **Customize sidebar** (the sliders button) at the bottom of the sidebar. The page address is `/settings/org/sidebar-navigation`. **Menu size** is at the top.

## Before you start

- Your role needs permission to change navigation settings. Everyone else sees the choice but cannot change it.
- The size applies to everyone in your company. People still only see pages their role and your plan allow.

## Steps

1. Under **Menu size**, read the three choices. Each card lists the sections it shows.
2. Select **Simple** for the pages a small team uses every day: leads and customers, the Schedule, work orders, projects, portfolios, tasks, quotes, invoices, payments and messages. Contacts stays available in larger menu sizes.
3. Select **Standard** for every part of Nova your plan includes, without the specialist pages most teams never open.
4. Select **Everything** to show every page, including advanced tools for larger teams and administrators.
5. Nova saves the choice straight away and everyone's sidebar updates.

## What you see

- A page is always in the same place. A bigger menu only adds pages; it never moves the ones you know.
- **Settings** and **Administration** always show every setting you can open, whatever the size. Their search finds anything.
- New companies start on **Simple**.

## If something looks different

- A note says your company uses a custom menu: the size applies when you switch back to the Nova menu, and a new custom menu starts from it. See [[customize-the-sidebar-menu]].
- A page you need is hidden in **Simple**: search for it from the top bar, or switch to **Standard**.
