Article summary

This article covers navigating R365 with the new R365 navigation experience enabled. The new R365 navigation experience will be enabled for all customers throughout 2025; contact your CSM to learn more.

When the new navigation is enabled, the New Nav Experience toggle allows users to switch between the new navigation and legacy/classic navigation. This flexibility helps users adapt to the updated experience before it becomes permanent. Although the toggle will eventually be removed, no timeline has been set for its removal.


For more information on navigating R365 without the new navigation experience, refer to the Legacy and Classic R365 Navigation article.

Security

User permissions will determine which applications, pages, and actions that an individual has access to.

Permissions can be added to custom user roles or individual users. The Permission Access report can be used to determine which user roles or users already have selected permissions assigned. For more information, see User Setup and Security.


Top Ribbon

The top ribbon is located at the top of the screen. From this top ribbon, users can open and close the left navigation menu, search within R365, open the global create menu, view notifications, get R365 help, and access their user menu.
