+### (2) Side Nav
+
+The application [side navigation](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/tree/master/src/app/components/sidenav) has two features;
+a button menu and navigation links.
+
+#### New button
+
+The New button displays a menu which provides three actions:
+
+- Create a new folder - provides a dialog which allows the creation of a new folder, the folder name is mandatory and the description is optional.
+- Upload a file - invokes the operating system file browser and allows a user to select file(s) to upload into their current location in the content repository.
+- Upload a folder - invokes the operating system folder browser and allows a user to select folder(s) to upload to their current location in the content repository.
+
+When an upload starts the [upload component](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-ng2-components/tree/master/lib/content-services/upload)
+is displayed which shows the user the progress of the uploads they have started.
+The upload dialog persists on the screen and can be minimised; users are able to continue using the application whilst uploads are in progress
+and uploads can be canceled which will stop uploads in progress or permanently delete already completed uploads.
+
+#### Navigation
+
+The navigation links are configurable via the [app.config.json](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/blob/master/src/app.config.json).
+Default configuration creates two sections.
+See [How to work with the side navigation](/) for more information about configuring the side navigation.
