Drupal Navigation Sidebar Module: Experimental Admin Panel Update

New Navigation Sidebar module in core

Drupal’s Navigation Sidebar module, introduced in Drupal 10.3, aims to enhance administrative navigation by replacing the traditional top toolbar with a left-aligned, collapsible vertical panel. Developed as an experimental module, it provides a streamlined interface for accessing tools, managing menus, and organizing deeper navigation layers. The panel can be collapsed for workspace efficiency and uses open-source icons. It supports customization, allowing users to modify density settings, enable dark mode, and reorganize navigation blocks. The module includes three pre-configured navigation blocks: shortcut navigation, user navigation, and system menu navigation, improving access to essential site functions. Currently in beta testing, it continues to undergo development, with future refinements expected. Users can install the module via the "Expand" section in Drupal 10.3, though it remains experimental and subject to improvements. While some users may take time to transition from the traditional toolbar, the module is designed to offer a more efficient and modern navigation experience. The Golems Drupal web development team, which published the report, encourages users to explore the module and provide feedback to help shape its final version.
