Navigating your ActiveCampaign account

Learn how to find features in your ActiveCampaign account using the main and secondary navigation bars. 

Take note

Features and tools included in the navigation bars depend on your plan level and the integrations you set up in your account. 

Navigation bars

Your ActiveCampaign account comes with two navigation bars: the main navigation bar and a secondary navigation bar. Depending on which category you pick in the main navigation, the secondary bar will expand and show you all features you can use within that category. 

Note that the secondary bar is collapsible. When you click an item from the main navigation, you may not see the secondary navigation bar right away. This is because it is in a collapsed state. 

To expand the secondary menu for that section, hover your mouse over the main navigation bar then click the button that appears to the right of the ActiveCampaign logo.
