Platform UI Navigation Improvements

Summary

The Siteimprove platform navigation has been updated to improve clarity, grouping, and usability. Some items have been renamed, moved, or reorganized, but no functionality has been removed and all features remain available.

Overview

We have updated the navigation in the Siteimprove platform. Labels are clearer, related items are better grouped, and the menus are easier to scan. A small number of menu items have also moved to new locations. This article explains what has changed and helps you find anything that may not be in its usual place.

Nothing has been removed. All existing features and functionality are still available.

What has changed?

The navigation update includes renamed items, restructured sub-menus, and visual improvements.

Change types

• Renamed items. A small number of menu items have new names that better describe what they do.
• Restructured sub-menus. Items within modules are now organized into clear sections: Get an overview, Optimize, and Settings.
• Visual improvements. Updated spacing, indentation, and typography throughout. Navigation search now dims the background when active, making results easier to scan.
