Global menu content
The global menu contains the following content:
Default items. You can decide which of the default items you want to be visible. By default you will have "My Work", "Activity Stream" and "Blog" in the Global Menu.
Items from plugins. These are visible if the plugin developer has specified them (system.header/left). The default theme displays these items in the header.
Custom items. For example, you can add a link to one of your external systems.
You can sort items by dragging them in to a new position.
Adding custom items
In Refined, you can add your own items to the global menu, using a link and an icon. If you don’t see items in the menu after adding them, make sure visibility is turned on and you have the right permissions.
