We have updated the sidebar in Apostle. Features are now grouped under new sections and some have been renamed. This article explains where each feature is now, what it is for, and where it used to be.
How the sidebar works
The sidebar opens when you hover over it and can be collapsed to your own preference. The Create post and Story buttons are available from every screen. They used to be menu items called Create post and Create story.
đĄ Tip: Looking for a feature from the old menu? See âWhere did it move?â at the bottom of this article.
