Hi,
This was already asked here:

> Hi there! Im looking for a function where any user sees ALL of our categories in the sidebar by default. currently they just see the “default” ones but we want that when they look at the sidebar they see all our categories. Kinda like this forum here has it. I have looked around but wasn’t able to find any answers.
Look for the setting **default navigation menu categories** and add every category.
If you create a new category in the future, you’ll have to add it as well after creation.
