The Menu Settings option on the Setup screen allows administrators to customize the options on the navigation menu. You can add or remove menu entries, rename entries, and change the icon if needed.

The New Case entry at the top of the menu bar cannot be moved or removed. The New Cases button appears in the upper right and always displays a list of workflows for which the current user is allowed to create a new case.
