# Customizing Default Sidebar

## Navigation

From the Organizations list, select your organization. In the sidebar, under **Customize**, click **Sidebar**.

## Overview

Customize the default sidebar items shown to users in this organization. Users can override these settings from their personal sidebar settings.

## Sidebar Modes

The page provides two modes via radio buttons:

### Default Settings

Uses the platform default sidebar configuration. All navigation items are shown.

### Custom Settings

Allows you to toggle visibility of individual sidebar navigation items. When selected, a list of all navigation items appears with checkboxes. Some items are marked as "unhideable" and cannot be removed.

## How It Works

1. Select the **Custom Settings** radio button to reveal the list of sidebar navigation items.
2. Use the checkboxes to toggle visibility of each item.
3. Changes are applied immediately when toggling items.

:::note Note
Individual users can override these organization defaults from their personal account settings.
