# Customizing the Admin Menu

 * The plugin has a drag and drop inteface for customizing the order of admin menu
   items (& subitems). But is there any way to have a condensed view of the admin
   menu for easier drag and drop when moving up and down the admin menu items?
 * I ask this as we have many top level admin items and most of those have extensive
   sub items. So the drag and drop interface is extremely long (as in a scroll length
   equivalent to about 10 url windows). Thus when attempting to rearrange the admin
   menu and your trying to drag something it is an “interesting” exercise to say
   the least!
 * I looked to see if there was a way to expand and contract each admin item box
   so that they would all fit in the “above the fold” – say a little arrow over 
   on the left or right side to expand and contract each admin box and is sub items
   but did not find this capability (I do note the ability to change the icon on
   the left and to remove visibility on the right).
 * Please let me know if I missed something.

 * Hi [@maxcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxcom/),
 * For your comment. This is a pro feature. We have the ability to expand or compress
   all items in the list with a click of a button. Please see: [https://imgur.com/a/kC9eZUN](https://imgur.com/a/kC9eZUN)
 * I don’t have any intent of putting this in the free version just yet. Thanks,
