Global Navigation Updates to Squarespace Backend
In short, the menu of items you see while logged into Squarespace is what this is referring to.
Benefits of this feature:
The backend options are much more streamlined and several items have been grouped together in a more sensible manner.
Pro Tip
Hit the “/” key on your keyboard to bring up the Search
menu to quickly and easily find menu items.
The amount of changes I’ve seen to the backend menu in the year 2023 alone is kind of astounding. When you have tutorial videos and documentation showing step-by-step how to navigate one version of the menu, then that menu changes, well, let’s just say that is a ridonkulous amount of time spent updating tutorials (only to have it change again!?!).
I will not be changing or updating any tutorials 😂 because it’s so much easier to use the shortcut menu (hit the “/” key on your keyboard to bring up the search menu and find what you need in the back end so much quicker).
Any tutorial video you find online has probably been impacted by constant menu changes, so I promise you will have zero regrets about adding this easy step to your workflow!
