UI Menu Options (v23.3 and Earlier)
A user interface (UI) menu is available when you select the hamburger icon () in the upper right corner of the page. The available menu options vary depending on whether you are logged in as a supervisor and on the group privileges assigned to your user definition. This topic describes the menu options available on the regular Composer UI menu, when you are logged in as any non-supervisor user or as an administrator. For information about supervisor menu options, see The Composer Supervisor Menu.
The Composer UI menu looks like this. Some options may not be available if your user definition does not have appropriate group privileges assigned.
