Within QBO on the left side is the bar which allows you to select Dashboard, Banking, Sales, etc.  Is it possible to edit this menu to remove the items that I do not use or reorder the items towards the top that I use all of the time?  As an example -- I don't use QBO for Capital, Payroll or mileage, so I would like to remove these.

Thanks for visiting the Community, @Giffola. I’m here to share some information about customizing your sidebar menu in QuickBooks Online.

 

The left pane contains the different sections of features in QuickBooks. Personalizing them according to your preferences is currently unavailable.

 

Additionally, you can change your view by clicking the Switch to Business view from the Gear icon.

 

 

I’ve added this link in case you need help navigating within QuickBooks. It includes all the features such as banking, reports and accounting, taxes, etc.

 

If you need further assistance with customizing QuickBooks, please feel free to let me know. I'd be glad to help you. Have a nice day.

Thanks for your quick reply.  It's disappointing that the left side bar can not be customized to remove the items that I have no plans to utilize.

I agree that it is disappointing that the menu cannot be customized. There should be a setting to hide unwanted menu items and then a toggle to show or hide hidden items. I have 17 sections on my menu and only use 6 of them. The rest are a waste of space full of upsell products that I will never need.
