**Hi,**

I have an issue after rebuilding Discourse. My admin page used to be easy and clear:

But after rebuilding Discourse, it has changed to the right side:

**Any help to revert it back? The new change is difficult for me. I really don’t know what I changed or if I added any new components!**

Admin sidebar navigation is enabled by default now for groups admins and moderators. You can adjust this setting:

Thanks @manuel ! I’m trying to figure out where’s this Admin sidebar enabled groups

Could you please send me the link for this settings ?

The setting has been removed three days ago.
