# Left sidebar
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The left sidebar in the Zulip web and desktop apps helps you navigate your
|
||
|
|
conversations. It has three main sections:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Views** provide various ways to get an overview of your messages.
|
||
|
|
- The **direct messages** section shows your [direct
|
||
|
|
message](/help/direct-messages) conversations.
|
||
|
|
- The **channels** section shows the [channels](/help/introduction-to-channels)
|
||
|
|
you are subscribed to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can adjust the left sidebar to focus on the information you need right now
|
||
|
|
by:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Expanding or collapsing the **Views** section.
|
||
|
|
- Expanding or collapsing the **Direct messages** section.
|
||
|
|
- Showing all topics in a channel.
|
||
|
|
- [Configuring unread message counters](/help/configure-unread-message-counters).
|
||
|
|
- Hiding the left sidebar altogether.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also customize how channels are organized within the **channels**
|
||
|
|
section by:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [Pinning channels](/help/pin-a-channel) so that they appear in the top section.
|
||
|
|
- [Changing channel colors](/help/change-the-color-of-a-channel).
|
||
|
|
- [Configuring](/help/manage-inactive-channels) whether inactive channels are
|
||
|
|
sorted at the bottom.
