[REQUEST] Shopify Admin: Accordion Nav Menu

Topic summary

A user requests an accordion-style navigation menu for the Shopify admin interface to improve efficiency.

Currently, accessing submenu items (like Collections under Products) requires loading the parent page first, which wastes time. The user also finds it difficult to remember which items are grouped under each top-level category, especially since Shopify occasionally reorganizes menu items.

Proposed Solution:
Implement an accordion menu that expands/collapses subcategories without page loads, allowing direct navigation to desired sections.

Current Status:
The user seeks guidance on where to submit this feature request to Shopify. One response misunderstood the request (suggesting a storefront solution rather than admin interface improvement). The discussion remains open with the original question unanswered.

Note: A mockup image was provided showing the proposed accordion navigation design.

Hello,

Sorry, this is probably the wrong place for this. I don’t know where to post feature requests for Shopify…

Something that has always bothered me about Shopify vs many other options out there is how the admin nav menu works. It’s burdensome. If I want to get to collections, I have to wait for the products page to load, then I can click collections. Waste of time if I didn’t want the products page. Same with all the other nav links. I also don’t remember what’s under every top link (Products, Content, etc.), so I have to click it, only to find out what I’m looking for is not there (and with them moving links around, this is even more frustrating).

To fix this is easy, just convert it to an actual accordion menu.

So where do I submit suggestions (or could this be moved?) to the Shopify team in the hopes this could be implemented/fixed?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @cmp2

this is what are you looking for?

Thanks for taking the time to reply…but, yikes. Did you read what I had typed? I’m talking about the Shopify admin nav. …

Please look at my screenshot. I specifically posted it with the mockup to show exactly what I was talking about.
