AI-generated summary
Users are enthusiastically discussing the new admin sidebar customization feature, praising its functionality and visual improvements Lilly. Lilly notes a minor UI quirk where custom links reorder incorrectly after setup, but confirms reloading the browser fixes it — and that this update renders many of her prior theme components obsolete, which she views positively. She requests that the configuration modal not close when clicking outside Lilly, a behavior mcwumbly confirms is standard across all modals but acknowledges as potentially frustrating during extended editing. Lhc_fl asks about translating sidebar sections, discovering that replacing spaces with underscores (e.g., “my_posts”) enables localization Lhc_fl. Lilly observes that icons are currently locked to headings and suggests adding up/down arrows for reordering links. She also questions whether translated text replacement works Lilly, and later notes functional redundancy between the new Community section and older global custom links Lilly. mcwumbly agrees on the overlap, suggesting the new section serves as a “default” global section with restore capabilities. Overall, the feedback is positive, with constructive suggestions for polish and usability improvements.

just a note - when i configured this section withe new pop up, it inserted it below the other custom links section i had for my users (with the globe icon), so i had to delete the previous custom links and set them up again to put it below the Community section.
edit: i have since discovered that reloading the browser after customizing the Community section fixes this and puts the sections in the proper order on the side-bar. 
this pretty much makes most of my side-bar mod theme component useless, which is a good thing

question: would it be at all possible to make it so the pop-up configuration modal doesn’t close when one click/ taps outside the modal area?
lol you know i am hammering away at this thing to find bugs

A small question: after this change, how can I modify the translation of the sidebar section?
It looks like My Posts is stuck in English
Update:
The localization works fine if I rename it to “my_posts”,

icons don’t actually seem to be changeable - locked into each heading. i would like arrows on the side of the configuration pop-up for moving links up and down to re-order.
does translated text-replacement work?
We use the click-outside to cancel pattern for all modals, so it’d be exceptional to do that in this case.
But I can see why you’re asking for something like this.
If you open the modal and tinker a bunch, it’s pretty easy to lose that work as is. Something to think about @awesomerobot / @kris.kotlarek

yea i noticed it does this for all modals. it’s pretty easy to tap outside a pop-up.

Apparently the team didn’t take names with spaces into account. Replacing spaces with _ makes translation work

hah that is good to know. thanks!
i feel like there is some functional redundancy here with the Community section and global custom links sections.

Yep, there’s certainly significant overlap. I think you could consider this the “default” global section (that includes the ablity to restore the defaults).
