Can I rename and reorder the GoHighLevel sidebar menu?

Yes. Every item can be renamed, given a new icon, moved, hidden or grouped under a heading. The changes apply to the agency view or the sub-account view, each set separately.

Does hiding a menu item stop someone reaching that page?

Hiding removes it from the menu, which is what most clients need. To actually block access, pair it with GoHighLevel’s own user permissions; the customizer does not change permissions.

Can I move the GoHighLevel menu to a top bar?

Yes. The top bar comes in 8 styles, from solid and floating to glass and slim, and a merged header folds the header into the same row to save space.

What are mega menus in GoHighLevel?

Sections with several sub-pages, such as Payments or Sites, can open as a wide panel that shows every sub-page at once instead of a short list. There are 8 mega styles to choose from.

What is the floating quick menu?

A small launcher that floats over every page and opens a grid, dock or rail of the pages people use most. It comes in 3 layouts and 8 finishes, and users can drag it anywhere.

Will it break when GoHighLevel adds a menu item?

No. New items are appended automatically unless you turn that off, and clicks are handed to GoHighLevel’s own links, so navigation keeps working when GoHighLevel changes.

Which package includes the menu builder?

Sidebar or top-bar layout, colours and logo are in every package. Mega menus and the floating quick menu start at Forge. The tier plate on this page reads the exact split from the price list.

Do I need to send DFY Foundry my GoHighLevel login to set this up?

No, and please do not. You set the menu yourself in the customizer editor and paste one line into GoHighLevel. We never ask for GoHighLevel credentials.

GoHighLevel menu customization that fits how your clients actually work

GoHighLevel menu customization means deciding what each client sees, in what order, under which name, and where the menu sits. The customizer lets you rename, reorder, hide and group items, add your own links, and move the menu to a left or right sidebar, a top bar in 8 styles, mega menus or a floating quick menu.

ST-01 · THE ANSWER

What does menu customization change in GoHighLevel?

The short answer

It changes the navigation, not the features. Items can be renamed, re-iconed, reordered, hidden or grouped under headings, sections with sub-pages can open as lists or mega menus, and the whole menu can live on the left, on the right, across the top or in a floating bubble. Agency and sub-account views are set separately.

8 top bar styles and 8 header styles.
8 mega menu styles for sections such as Payments and Sites.
A floating quick menu in 3 layouts and 8 finishes, draggable by the user.
New GoHighLevel items are appended automatically unless you switch that off.

ST-04 · THE TOOLING

Menu builder

The rigging you get to move

Rename, reorder, hide, group

Drag items into order, give them your own names and icons, hide what a client never touches and group the rest under headings.

Left, right or across the top

Keep the sidebar, dock it on the right, or turn it into a top bar in 8 styles. A merged header saves a whole row of screen.

Sub-menus and mega menus

Sections with sub-pages open as a plain list or as one of 8 mega styles, from columns and tiles to tabs and a full-width band.

Floating quick menu

A bubble, dock or side rail with the pages people use most. Anyone can drag it and it remembers where they left it.

Your own links

Point menu items at your help centre, booking page, courses or onboarding, opening inside the app or in a new tab.

Start page and header buttons

Choose where a sub-account lands after sign-in and hide header buttons you would rather clients did not press.

ST-05 · ON THE FLOOR

For agencies

Where it earns its keep

A client who only books and messages
Dashboard, Conversations, Calendars and Contacts, in that order, under the words they use. Everything else is hidden from their view and still there for you.
An agency team that lives in settings
A top bar with mega menus puts every Payments and Sites sub-page one hover away, and the floating quick menu pins the five pages the team opens fifty times a day.
Two brands from one agency
Each workspace keeps its own menu, so a med-spa brand and a trades brand can each feel built for their buyer.
