Customizing navigation of the admin center

If you use certain admin centers frequently, you can adjust the navigation menu of the Microsoft 365 admin center so that those admin center links are always visible and not hidden beneath the Show all link. In this recipe, we'll make sure Azure AD, Exchange, and SharePoint admin centers are always visible on our menu.

Getting ready

A user must be an admin with the appropriate role (such as Global Admin). These steps are based on the "new" admin center (released for preview in 2018-2019).

How to do it…

  1. Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center at http://admin.microsoft.com.
