Restructure this navigation and IA
Features keep getting bolted onto the menu and nobody can find anything.
Longianavigation
Help me restructure the information architecture below. 1. Group items by the job a user is doing, not by the team that built them or by our data model. Show the proposed grouping. 2. Name each group with a word a user would actually use. Reject internal jargon and say what it was. 3. Flag every item that plausibly belongs in two places, and decide where it lives, with a cross-link if needed. 4. Identify orphans: things reachable only by URL or by memory. 5. Say what should not be in the navigation at all because it is done once and never again. 6. Check depth. Anything more than three levels down needs a justification. Finish with the top-level menu as a plain ordered list, and the reasoning for that order. Current structure:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Layout and navigation. Making a screen read in the right order, and making a growing product findable.
