Sidebar & Navigation Cleanup
Canadian Elite Volleyball Academy — Development Update • April 6, 2026
Sidebar & Navigation Cleanup
What & Why
The sidebar navigation has grown organically and now has structural issues:- "Communication Hub" already contains Newsroom and Messages as tabs, yet both also appear as separate sidebar items (linking to command-center tabs). This creates duplication and confusion — both pages even show banners saying "also available in Communication Hub."
- The sidebar groups mix admin-only tools with browsable pages without clear hierarchy. The user wants admin items at the top, followed by coach items, then parent/athlete items.
- The Coach Portal has 8 horizontal tabs wrapping onto two rows, which is cluttered on mobile.
Done looks like
- Communication sidebar group simplified: "Newsroom" and "Messages" are removed as separate sidebar items. "Communication Hub" remains as the single entry point (it already has Newsroom and Messages tabs internally). The command-center's newsroom and messages tab views remain accessible via URL but are no longer advertised in the sidebar.
- Sidebar reorganized into clear tiers for the SuperAdmin Academy view:
- Coach Portal tabs trimmed: "Onboarding" and "Resources" are moved into the Dashboard tab as collapsible sections or cards rather than top-level tabs, reducing the tab bar from 8 items to 6 (Dashboard, My Assignments, Opportunities, My Profile, Payroll & Pay, Certifications).
- The public/non-admin sidebar items for coaches and athletes remain well-organized for those user panels.
Out of scope
- Changes to the Events page horizontal tabs (those represent distinct admin workflows and belong there).
- Redesigning the Communication Hub's internal tabs.
- Changes to League or Referee sidebar panels.
- Mobile sidebar drawer behavior changes.
