Who can use it. Everyone. The marketing site's Features menu is public: anyone browsing summithub.co.nz sees it, signed in or not. The app sidebar is for signed-in staff (customers and field accounts see a short, unsectioned menu with no headings).

What it's for

Two separate menus, both built to stay usable on a laptop-sized screen as the product has grown:

• The Features dropdown in the marketing site's top menu bar lists every feature page, organised into four groups (Sales & Quoting, Job Management, Money, Clients) so a long list of features doesn't turn into one huge scrolling column.
• The app sidebar, on the left of every signed-in screen, groups a staff account's links under four collapsible headings (Work, Clients, Company, Account) for the same reason: an owner with every optional feature switched on can have close to 20 links, more than fits on a typical laptop screen at once.

How to use it

Marketing site Features menu

1. Click Features in the top menu bar.
2. Click a group name (e.g. "Money") to expand it and see its feature links, each with a one-line description.
3. Click a feature link to go to that feature's page.

App sidebar

1. Each heading (Work, Clients, Company, Account) is clickable and expands or collapses that group of links.
2. Whichever section contains the page you're currently on opens automatically; the others start collapsed.
3. Click a heading again at any time to open or close it: your choice sticks as you move around the app, for the rest of your visit.

What it affects

Only how these two menus are laid out: no page, link, or permission changed location or disappeared. Every link that was reachable before is still there; it may just be one click away inside a collapsed group now instead of always sitting on the screen.

Good to know

• On phones and narrow tablets, app pages use a compact title and summary instead of a large coloured banner. Page actions and figures remain available, with more room for the content below. Wider screens retain the full banner.
• On the marketing site, the Solutions dropdown is unchanged: it's a short single list, not grouped.
• Sidebar sections default to collapsed, except whichever one contains the page you're currently viewing.
• Customer and field accounts don't see sidebar section headings at all: their menu is already short enough that grouping isn't needed.
• On a phone, the Features menu appears inside the hamburger menu, with the same four groups, and the app sidebar is replaced by the bottom mobile navigation bar; neither of those was affected by this change.
