[New] Basic Navigation

Introduction

The navigation menu, located on the left side of your screen, is your main hub for accessing all of PerformYard's features. From here, you can move between each feature you have access to each represented by its own icon and label for quick recognition. Simply click any menu item to jump directly to that section; items with a small arrow (such as Reviews, Goals, Meetings, Feedback, and Resources) will expand to reveal additional sub-pages when clicked, giving you quicker access to related tools without leaving the main menu.
