Hi everyone!

Just wondering, is there a good way to organize lots and lots of screens in the side bar?

I tried “nesting” them and it doesn’t seem to work… I am renaming them to make them more distinguishable, but scrolling through a long list of screens is…not awesome. I’m also creating content that will be accessed in sections. I thought it would be nice to be able to group the screens in a given section together somehow, but I can’t figure out a way to do it.

Am I asking the impossible? Any tips?

Thanks so much 🙂

Hi,

One way is to create a scrolling Column and add buttons to it, as you need it. You can even build a tree of references to screens as in the Windows Explorer tree for folders and files.

@actech Thanks for the reply!

I actually meant organization in the “visible components” side bar, not within the app itself… My brain keeps wanting to group them like layers in a photo editing program, but it doesn’t seem to work that way. 😅
