# Customize sidebar

## Customize sidebar

You can adjust the sidebar so the most important pages stay easy to reach.

This is useful if you want a cleaner layout or faster access to daily controls.

### What you can change

Changes apply only for your profile

* reorder sidebar items
* hide items you do not use
* keep important dashboards near the top

{% hint style="info" %}
Some sidebar items may be fixed by the system configuration and cannot be changed for regular users.
{% endhint %}

### Change the sidebar

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open your profile

Log in to Home Assistant.

Then open your user profile.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Find sidebar settings

Look for the section that controls sidebar visibility or order.

Open the sidebar customization view.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Reorder or hide items

Move the items you use most to the top.

Hide items you do not need every day.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save and check the result

Return to the main screen.

Confirm that the sidebar now matches the way you work.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Suggested setup

For most users, this order works well:

1. Dashboard
2. Energy
3. Frigate
4. To-do lists

### If you do not see the change

Try this:

* refresh the page once
* log out and log in again
* follow the steps on [Refreshing page](/devcontrol2/readme/troubleshooting/refreshing-page.md)

If the sidebar still does not update, the item may be controlled by the system configuration.
