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.
