Add Links to Side Menu

Would like to be able to place other Quicklinks in the side bar as well vs embedding them deeper in the groups: eg - social links, link to website, link to scheduler, etc

Thanks for the latest upgrade enabling custom links in the sidebar🚀

Can we please add groups to the left sidebar? Huge downfall with it missing from there

I've never understood the reasoning behind hiding it.

This is a must functionality I needed in our community portal. Without the ability to display the groups in the nav bar ruins the user experience. I am not sure why it wasnt there in the core functionality to begin with.
Also I would add to this that not just “my groups” should appear but also all the other available groups so people will know what groups are available for them to join.

I would like to have a category - useful links and here are some links :)

Yes, this is much needed and came here to request the same thing! I kept finding myself wanting to see what each group sees when they login.

Given the power and flexibility of groups this may be a good idea. Otherwise we will have to instruct people where to go and how to use groups to a greater degree.
