Description

Users report difficulty navigating the left sidebar, particularly in documentation sections with deep hierarchies like Smart Accounts Kit.

Problem

The primary complaints are:

  • Hard to identify the hierarchy level of items (level 2 vs level 3 vs level 4, etc.)
  • Insufficient visual distinction between parent categories and child items
  • Deep nesting makes it difficult to understand document relationships at a glance

Affected areas

  • Smart Accounts Kit documentation (up to 5 levels of nesting)
  • Any documentation section with 3+ levels of hierarchy

User impact

  • Increased cognitive load when navigating documentation
  • Difficulty understanding document structure and relationships
  • Users may miss relevant content due to navigation confusion
