Navigating Braze

Updates to Braze navigation are being released gradually. You may not see these changes in your environment yet.

Braze navigation is designed to help you efficiently access features and content across devices. Let’s explore how to make the most of it.

  • Simplified menus: Navigate intuitively with a vertical menu structure that organizes tools in stacked submenus.
  • Powerful search: Find pages or items by name, type, or even previous names using the global search bar.
  • Mobile-friendly design: Access the full functionality of Braze navigation on any device.

Using the menu

The vertical menu structure keeps your most-used tools just a press away. Select a main menu item to reveal its options in a stacked vertical layout.

User selects the "Settings" page to open the submenu as a stacked vertical menu to the right.

The global search, located in the header, is your fastest way to find anything in Braze. Select the search bar, or press Ctrl + K on Windows or ⌘ + K on a Mac to jump directly there.

Global search open with no search terms entered, showing recently open pages.

The search understands synonyms for pages that have been renamed in our updated navigation. For example, it will find “Data Export” when you search for “Currents”, as that page has been renamed.

Results for the search "currents" showing: "Data Export. Previously 'Currents'."

Minimizing the side navigation

To reduce visual clutter and focus on your workspace, you can minimize the side navigation panel. Press Minimize menu to hide the navigation, which is especially helpful when working in Canvas to design user flows.

User expands and collapses the left-side navigation menu in Braze Canvas, toggling between full text labels and icon-only view.

Even when minimized, you can hover over the icons to see tooltips with menu item names for quick access.
