How to Add Navigation Items in Salesforce

Updated on:
May 11, 2026
By:
Madhav Bhandari
Use this interactive demo to learn how to customize your Salesforce navigation bar with new items.

Quick summary

Adding navigation items in Salesforce lets users customize their navbar for faster access to key records and pages. This process takes under a minute using the built-in Edit tool in the Salesforce Lightning navigation bar.


Steps

  1. Go to the top right of your Salesforce page and click the Edit (Pen) Symbol in the Navigation bar.
  2. Click on Add More Items to open the item selection panel.
  3. Select All under Available Items to view the full list of options.
  4. Select the item you want to add to your navbar.
  5. Hit the Add Nav Items button to confirm your selection.
  6. Click Save to apply your changes to the navigation bar.
  7. Confirm the update by verifying the success message that appears once the item is added.

📌 Why this matters

Customizing the Salesforce navigation bar allows teams to surface the most relevant records, objects, and pages directly in their workflow, reducing clicks and improving productivity. For Salesforce admins and end users alike, the ability to add navigation items in Lightning Experience means each user can tailor their workspace to match their role. This feature is especially valuable for organizations managing complex CRM setups, where quick access to specific modules — like Cases, Accounts, or custom objects — directly impacts response times and operational efficiency. A well-configured Salesforce navbar is a foundational step in any CRM adoption and user enablement strategy.
