**Feature Request: Optional Section Title/Header in Desktop Navigation Sidebar** Hi Glide team and community, I’d like to request a feature for desktop-mode apps: the ability to add an optional section title or header within the navigation sidebar. This would help organize app navigation, especially when there are many tabs that could be grouped under different categories or labeled sections. Currently, the sidebar automatically lists all tabs/screens, but there’s no way to insert custom headers or dividers to separate or label groups of navigation items. Adding this capability would greatly improve usability for users who have complex apps with multiple sections. Is there already a feature request for this? If not, I’d love for the team to consider it. If anyone has found creative workarounds, I’d appreciate any tips! ![Screenshot 2026-01-13 at 11.04.24 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/b/5bf6331722514ead3650e2be3371d4e4e515759b.jpeg) Thank you! ---

To be able to see the results in the dashboard, you need to turn on the custom css preview switch. > [@How to do custom CSS on Navigation(Layout) Sidebar](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-to-do-custom-css-on-navigation-layout-sidebar/85274/6): > > If you’d like to achieve something like what appears in your image, you can try this CSS: /\* ====== Sidebar Navigation Styling (Desktop Only) ====== \*/ /\* Common ::before styling for all Sections \*/ #page-root:not(.mobile-layer) .sidebar-root li:is(:nth-of-type(1), :nth-of-type(4), :nth-of-type(7))::before { position: absolute; margin-top: -20px; font-size: 0.75rem; color: white; } /\* Section 1 \*/ #page-root:not(:has(.mobile-layer)) .sidebar-root li:nt… ---
