Use the same navigation order in all devices and browsers for a user

A couple of updates ago when the new UI was introduced I realized something and it was very annoying, I had to re-create the same library menu order on every device/new browser. I think it will be more beneficial if all devices would use the same order for that user. I think during that process it would be great to have a checkbox at the bottom to say use this order for all devices.

Here you go :wink:

With this enabled (for each client type/category), Plex should apply the same library/navigation customization across those clients.

I’ve had that on and yes for all browsers its is the the same navigation, but my android app, fire stick, nvidia shield, LG app, samsung app, etc… all have a different navigation order. Of course I tried to match it during setup, but there are still some variations.

That’s actually the intended behavior.
To give an example… you might want to pin home videos, movies and tv shows on your TV based Plex client, while you want to pin only music and movies on your phone / tablets. The underlying idea is that users have different navigation preferences on different client types.

I completely understand that and I can definitely see the use of it. What I am suggesting though is to add an additional checkbox to that navigation setup screen and maybe somewhere in the server menu to apply the same navigation in all devices for that users. I’m sure I’m not the only one wanting this feature. Remember sometimes users don’t know what they want till you add it. :wink:

Feature suggestion? :wink:

Yes. Not sure if that goes here or somewhere else in the forum.

You can post that here:

I was wondering if we should move this thread but you might be better off with an own suggestion based on your post from some hours ago (vs. the entire description)
