How to navigate the CMS

Navigation

The staff area uses a sidebar navigation menu and breadcrumbs to help you find your way around.

The sidebar navigation menu includes the following sections:

  • Dashboard - Return to the main dashboard
  • Content - Manage Actions, News, and Events
  • People & CRM - Manage people profiles and contacts
  • Emailing - Newsletters, compose emails, subscribers, templates
  • Calendar - View scheduled content
  • Pages - Custom pages and navigation
  • Contact - View contact form submissions and YCS actions
  • Notifications - View all notifications
  • Profile - Manage your user profile
  • Users (Admin only) - Manage staff users and roles
  • Audit Logs (Admin only) - View system activity logs

What you'll see: A collapsible sidebar on the left side of the screen. The sidebar shows icons and labels for each section. The current page is highlighted. On mobile devices, the sidebar collapses into a hamburger menu.

At the top of each page, you'll see breadcrumbs showing your current location: Dashboard > Content > News

What you'll see: A horizontal navigation trail at the top of the content area, showing where you are in the hierarchy. Each segment is clickable to navigate back.
