Ooops…thank you, it was meant to be a link to the screenshot. I fixed it (I hope). Where do I find the link component? ---

But if I use this, the link will be added to a different screen, I want to add it to the user profile screen where the logout button is. ---

I’d like to add a messages button to the app menu that takes you to the chat screen when it is clicked. Lisa used a button like this in her [app](https://community.glideapps.com/t/need-help-on-creating-private-chat/10686/24). ---

Ah no, I already created a 1:1 chat in a detail screen (with the help of some really patient folks here 😂) and I can access it via the regular tabs, but I thought it would be nice to add a button in the app menu as well that would link to the messages. It’s not really important, just a little detail. ---

you cant add buttons in side menu, you can drag TABs there… like your chat tab or tab with the button to chat ---

Ah, now I understand how it works. But then I can only have it either in the tabs or the menu, right? ---

Ok. If I understanding what you want. You have to add a button and give the action go to tab. It will take you to that tab even if the tab is on the side menu. ![Screen Shot 2021-08-18 at 4.08.23 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/c/0c37d6d71ad74f7e15a7082209d4e48f8b0a3e83.png) ---
