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 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.
