# Menu editor

**Menu editor** is a tool that allows owners to control what their end users can see. It provides more consistent and standard user experience and access control. With this feature, admins can reorder and rename tabs as well as group users with specific builds.

### **Assigned to**

This section is used for applying the template to specific users.

Presets can be applied to any chosen user. If you delete a preset, the user will be assigned the template marked as default.

### **Visual editor**

An interactive editor of your side menu. As items are rearranged or renamed, you will see the changes both in the menu and in the **Item selector** section on the right of the page.

All menu items can be renamed and dragged-and-dropped to order them as you see fit. Tabs inside each module can also be renamed and moved.

### **Item selector**

This section shows a preview of the item you select or add to the menu and allows you to add new items to your groups.

To add a new menu item, click **Add item** on top of the section and select it from the drop-down list. You can add multiple items to a menu group.
