The Side Menu settings help you configure a navigation panel which pops up at the side of the sheet when you press the button (Figure 1).

You can add Elements to construct your side menu, choosing from Sheets, Text, Groups, Master Items and Lines. There's a set up wizard you can use to add and manage items in the side menu (Figure 2).
