Product waffle menu

Located in the top-right corner of the universal header, the product waffle menu replaces the previous left navigation panel and provides a unified cross-product navigation. It opens each product in a new tab on the web allowing users to configure a product’s settings on its own page. To customize how the products appear, click the product waffle menu, then drag and drop items to reorder them.
