Sidebar layout

Sidebar layout lets you customize the structure of the sidebar menu shown on the left side of the admin panel.
You can hide menu items, change their display names and icons, reorder them, add folders and links, and switch which layout applies to each administrator.

How the applied layout is determined

When an administrator opens the admin panel, exactly one layout is chosen as follows.

1. Layouts whose usage setting is "Use" and whose access limit matches the administrator are candidates.
2. Among the candidates, the layout with the largest order is applied.
3. If the order is the same, the layout with the smaller ID takes precedence.

Layouts are never merged. If no layout matches, the default sidebar is displayed.
