--- Title: Side Navigation --- # Side Navigation The application `Side Navigation` 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 a folder to upload to their current location in the content repository. When an upload starts the [upload component](https://www.alfresco.com/abn/adf/docs/content-services/components/file-uploading-dialog.component/) is displayed which shows the user the progress of the uploads they have started. The upload dialog persists on the screen and can be minimized; 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`. Default configuration creates two sections. See [Navigation](/getting-started/navigation) for more information about configuring the side navigation.
