How to Use the New Make.com Navigation

The new navigation in make.com introduces a simpler, more consistent way to move around the platform, find scenarios, and manage your apps. This step-by-step how-to explains where your favorite items went and how to work efficiently with the redesigned layout.

Overview of the new make.com left sidebar

The left-hand sidebar in make.com is now the primary way to access your most important items. It groups pages by what you want to do, instead of where you created them.

You will see several main items in the sidebar:

• Home – your starting point with recent and important information.
• Scenarios – a centralized place for all your automations.
• Connections – access and manage all your app connections.
• Data stores – manage stored data used in your workflows.
• Apps – explore and manage apps available for your automations.
• Apps & Services – the previous name for Apps in the old UI.

If you were used to finding items through the dashboard or top-level menus, you now use the left sidebar in make.com instead.

Where dashboard features moved in make.com

The old dashboard area has been simplified in make.com. Many items that used to be on the dashboard now live in more focused sections.

Finding your scenarios in make.com

Scenarios are now easier to find and manage from one list.

1. Open the left sidebar.
2. Click Scenarios.
3. Use filters or search to locate a specific scenario.

Everything related to scenarios lives here, including enabled, disabled, and draft scenarios.

Finding templates in make.com

Templates are no longer accessed from the old dashboard layout.

1. Go to Apps in the left sidebar.
2. Browse apps that offer templates.
3. Select an app to see available templates and modules.

This structure keeps templates closer to the apps and modules they belong to, streamlining discovery in make.com.

How to use the Home page in make.com

The new Home page is designed as the hub of make.com, showing what needs your attention and what you worked on recently.

On the Home page you can typically:

• See recently edited or run scenarios.
• Access important notifications or alerts.
• Jump quickly to common actions like creating a new scenario.

If you used to rely on the old dashboard to orient yourself, think of Home as your new landing space in make.com.

Scenario organization in the new make.com layout

Scenario management is more consistent with the new layout. Instead of multiple scattered entry points, there is now a dedicated place for all scenario work.

Steps to open and edit a scenario

1. In the left sidebar, click Scenarios.
2. Find your scenario by name, owner, or folder.
3. Click the scenario name to open the editor.
4. Use the canvas to add, remove, or configure modules as usual.

This unified flow means you do not need to remember different paths for different scenario types in make.com.

Creating a new scenario from the navigation

You can create scenarios directly from the main navigation without going through an older dashboard screen.

1. From any page, open the left sidebar.
2. Click Scenarios.
3. Use the New scenario button.
4. Select apps and modules, then build your workflow on the canvas.

Because scenarios are centralized, this process remains the same anywhere you are in make.com.

Using the Apps section in make.com

The Apps section replaces the old Apps & Services label while keeping a familiar purpose. It focuses on discovering and managing what you connect to.

How to find apps and modules

1. Click Apps in the left sidebar.
2. Browse or search for the app you need.
3. Open an app page to see supported modules and triggers.
4. Use these modules when building or editing scenarios in make.com.

This design makes it easier to explore what each app can do before you add it to a scenario.

Working with app templates

Some apps in make.com include ready-made templates that you can start from.

1. Open the relevant app from the Apps section.
2. Look for templates associated with that app.
3. Select a template and follow the prompts to create a scenario.

This approach keeps templates grouped by app and use case, so you are not searching across unrelated templates in make.com.

Managing connections and data in make.com

The new navigation also clarifies where to manage connections and data stores.

How to access connections

1. Open the left sidebar.
2. Click Connections.
3. Review existing app connections and their status.
4. Edit, rename, or remove connections as needed.

Centralizing connections helps you solve authentication issues quickly, without hunting through scenario-specific menus in make.com.

How to manage data stores

1. Click Data stores in the left sidebar.
2. Review all data stores used in your scenarios.
3. Create a new data store or open an existing one to manage its structure and records.

This dedicated section ensures data management is clearly separated from scenario building in make.com, while still only a click away.

Tips for adapting to the new make.com navigation

When a platform layout changes, it can take some time to build new habits. These tips can make the move to the new make.com navigation smoother.

• Use the sidebar as your anchor – almost everything starts from the left sidebar now.
• Think by task, not by page – ask what you want to do (build, connect, store data) and choose the sidebar item that matches.
• Pin or bookmark key pages in your browser for faster direct access.
• Explore each sidebar section once, so you know where things live before you need them urgently.

If you work in a team, walk through the new navigation together so everyone aligns on the updated layout in make.com.
