Changes made from the UI will not go into the "default" folder, though; they will go into local. So you can find your changes persisted in <CODE>$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/yourapp/local/data/ui/nav/default.xml</CODE></P> Fri, 27 Oct 2017 17:18:15 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise/Where-are-edits-to-the-navigation-menu-from-settings-gt-user/m-p/336827#M7096 elliotproebstel 2017-10-27T17:18:15Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise/Where-are-edits-to-the-navigation-menu-from-settings-gt-user/m-p/336828#M7097 <P>Thank you!

Generally speaking, unless you are the developing an app for distribution, you are advised to not make changes to the default folder. Changes you make in the local folder will persist through app updates, but changes you make in the default folder will generally get wiped out if you update an app.</P> Fri, 27 Oct 2017 17:43:16 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise/Where-are-edits-to-the-navigation-menu-from-settings-gt-user/m-p/336829#M7098 elliotproebstel 2017-10-27T17:43:16Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise/Where-are-edits-to-the-navigation-menu-from-settings-gt-user/m-p/336830#M7099 <P>Thank you!</P> Fri, 27 Oct 2017 18:18:17 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise/Where-are-edits-to-the-navigation-menu-from-settings-gt-user/m-p/336830#M7099 gjanardh 2017-10-27T18:18:17Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise/Where-are-edits-to-the-navigation-menu-from-settings-gt-user/m-p/336831#M7100 <P>Also, accessible via the GUI under: Settings, User Interface, Navigation menus...
