The sidebar menu (referred to as navigation menu on mobile devices) is where you can do all your navigation in Todoist. This is where you can access your views (such as the Inbox, your Today view, and your filters and labels), all your Favorites, and your projects.
If you’re using the macOS, Windows 10/11, or web app, you can collapse/expand the sidebar menu by clicking the three horizontal lines icon in the upper-left corner of Todoist.
