How do I add custom menu items in GoHighLevel?

Adding true custom menu items requires custom JavaScript injected reliably into the dashboard. I build it as a maintainable script so your items appear consistently and link wherever you need.

Can you hide menu items for specific clients?

Yes. I can show or hide navigation per client tier or sub-account using clean conditional logic.

Will custom menu items survive GHL updates?

I write the navigation script defensively and document it, so when GoHighLevel updates the sidebar it's quick to reconcile.

Show clients only what they need—nothing more.

GoHighLevel Custom Menu & Side Navigation

A GoHighLevel custom menu lets you reshape the side navigation so each client sees a clean, relevant sidebar. I add custom menu items, rename or hide links, and reorder the navigation so your platform feels purpose-built instead of overwhelming.

The problem

GoHighLevel's default sidebar exposes dozens of features. For many clients that's confusing and increases churn—they get lost, miss the tools that matter, and flood you with support questions. The native menu controls are limited and don't let you add your own links or fully restructure navigation.

How I solve it

I customize the side navigation with targeted JavaScript and CSS: adding custom menu items that link to your resources, hiding features a client shouldn't see, grouping related tools, and adding icons for clarity. As a developer I build this as a reliable script rather than fragile one-off hacks, so it holds up as menus change.

Add custom items

Link to your knowledge base, booking page, billing portal, or any external tool directly in the sidebar.

Hide & rename

Remove features clients don't need and rename links to language they understand.

Reorder & group

Put the most-used tools first and group related items so the sidebar makes sense.

Per-plan menus

Different navigation for different client tiers, driven by clean, maintainable logic.

Mini case study

Sidebar cleanup that cut support tickets

A reseller's clients kept getting lost in the full feature menu. I trimmed the sidebar to the eight tools that mattered, added a custom 'Help' link, and grouped marketing tools together.

Result: Noticeably fewer 'where do I find…' tickets and faster client onboarding.
