# Navigation & Layout

> Mobile nav config, custom tabs editor, sidebar UX, drill-down pattern

Configure how members navigate your community app — bottom tabs, drawer items, and the member-facing chrome.

## Member-facing navigation

Members see a **bottom tab bar** in the member app:

* Home / Feed
* Challenges
* Rewards
* Leaderboards
* Profile
* (Optional: Shop, Games, Messages)

Customise which tabs appear via the **custom tabs editor** (#865) in Community Settings -> Navigation & Layout.

***

## Mobile nav config

Per-community mobile nav configuration (#831) lets you:

* Hide / show tabs per community
* Reorder tabs
* Add custom links (e.g. direct to your storefront)

***

## Admin shell sidebar

The admin panel uses a **drill-down sidebar** (#2216) with sections that expand inline — see [Navigation Overview](/admin-guide/navigation-overview).

Settings sidebar spacing and UX was refined in #1119 and #1854 for a cleaner hierarchy.

***

## Community context in the nav bar

The admin top nav always shows the current community (#1141). Switching community updates the entire admin context — sidebar items rescope, content reloads.

***

## Tab visibility via theme

The **tab visibility** setting is part of the community theme (see [Community-Level Theming](/admin-guide/settings/community-branding)). Hide the Games tab for communities without games; hide Shop when you don't have a points economy.

## Best practices

<Tip>
  5 tabs is the sweet spot. Members can scan all tabs at a glance. Going beyond 5 pushes tabs into an overflow menu that members miss.

<Tip>
  Put your biggest weekly value in the Home / Feed tab. Members open the app, see the feed, tap the first interesting thing.
