What is the Sidebar?
The 'Sidebar' is the list of icons visible on the left side of your GovernorHub page. These icons let you toggle between the accounts or services available to you.
Icons You May See on the Sidebar
Boards/Groups: Boards or groups you’re a member of.
Services: Any services your board subscribes to.
News Page: A quick link to your news feed.
Clerking Dashboard (My Hub): For admins or clerks managing multiple accounts.
Managing Too Many Icons
For anyone with multiple boards, GovernorHub consolidates your boards, groups, and services under the 'My Groups' icon.
The 'My Groups' Icon
The My Groups icon is your all-in-one access point for boards and groups.
All your accounts are included automatically, so you don’t have to decide which to hide.
Pinning Favourites Back to the Sidebar
If you want quicker access to specific boards or groups, you can pin your favourites directly back onto the sidebar.
