Some plugins like Discourse Docs add a link in the sidebar and hamburger menu. In the new sidebar/hamburger, the link is under “More…” but is arguably important enough to be top-level if a site has chosen to install it.
Perhaps plugins should have the ability (if they don’t already) to add links in the main Community section or other More, and Docs should do the former.
Hi! With the new user menu, what's the intended way to get to the site administration or other special pages? The hamburger menu gets replaced with the sidebar contents, and all the special links that are in the old hamburger menu are gone
I would use this to replace the function of a few header links, and it would make them more accessible on mobile for my mobile users than header links are today. I have to limit header links on mobile because of precious horizontal space, but vertical space in the sidebar matches those needs more.
Yes, specifically about Docs, there is a big contrast between how prominent the item is on Desktop (where it can be added to the nav bar next to Latest, Top…) and how hard to find is on mobile.
Sites using a Knowledge Base probably want it to be… known by their users. When enabled, it would be useful to have it visible on the Sidebar. Or give the option to admins like for the desktop link.
