Disabling the Left-Nav "Pinning" Behavior for Submenu Items

hen you click “Important Links”, the sub-menu fades in to the right of the left navigation. However, when you click “More”, the sub-menu slides up from the bottom to the right side of the left navigation.

The behavior where a clicked submenu item automatically promotes itself to the top level of the left navigation bar is an intended architectural feature designed for user accessibility. Every time a navigation event occurs or a page loads, the core navigation logic references the active session state cached in the browser's local storage. If the layout engine identifies that the currently active application path matches an item nested within a sublevel menu, it dynamically updates the active sidebar state to surface that item at the top level for immediate visibility.


Currently there is no standard administrative configuration parameter to disable this dynamic pinning feature out of the box. We are suggesting a supported configuration switch in a future release.
