Manage Top Bar

No security coverage Under active development 30 sites

Manage Top Bar allows site administrators to customize the top navigation bar. It enables users to mark local actions as "featured" to display them as prominent buttons, with an option to hide all other local actions.

Built with an AI assistant.

The Top Bar from the Navigation module provides a new way to administer and manage a Drupal site.

There are three areas where it can be configured: Tools, Context, and Actions.
(change record)

Manage Top Bar provides a way to customize these items through the UI.

Features

- Toggle navigation show/hide
- Back to site link
- Mobile sidebar expand/collapse
- Theme Flip integration
- Set order of tools and Toggle display of labels

Context
- Toggle title display on non entity routes

Actions

This is a solution for #3564079: Provide a way to prevent the navigation bar taking over local tasks and #3590502: Move local tasks out of the more actions button into the content header on admin pages.
