Manage navigation layouts
Learn about the importance of role-based navigation layouts and how you can manage them via the web app to maintain an intuitive workspace.Why create navigation layouts?
Navigation layouts allow administrators to create tailored navigation experiences and apply them to permission sets, ensuring each role in your organization easily sees the features most relevant to them. This is especially useful for organizations where different roles have varying workflows, helping users stay focused, work more efficiently, and spend less time looking for what they need.
For example, managers and field workers have different responsibilities, so rather than navigating through the same set of features, administrators can create layouts tailored to each role, giving every team a streamlined experience built around the way they work.

Frequently asked questions
Each permission set can only have one layout. If a permission set isn't available to select when creating a new layout, it means a layout already exists for it. You can manage the existing layout instead to update the navigation.
This can happen for two reasons: you've reached the maximum of 10 layouts, or all permission sets already have a layout assigned. To add a new layout, delete an existing one or review your permission sets.
