Hi everyone,
I recently watched this tutorial on customizing the admin navbar in Payload CMS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1ejRLr2Uzo&ab_channel=AllAboutPayload), but it seems that the method shown is now outdated as the file path no longer exists in PayloadCMS 3.
Could someone please share the current, recommended way to legitimately modify the admin navbar in PayloadCMS 3? Any guidance or updated documentation references would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hey @halcyon moat,
You can use custom components for this. If you simply want to add some links, you can use the beforeNavLinks or afterNavLinks custom components. If you want to take it to the next level, you can also use your own nav entirely by making a custom component for the Nav component.
See the docs on this here: https://payloadcms.com/docs/admin/components#root-components
I also have this example theme here as a demo which does exactly that: https://github.com/akhrarovsaid/payload-theme-quantum-leap

I would like to add a new sub-column ‘CRM’ to the original nav bar and add some collections to it (not sure). The problem is that I believe I should use beforeNavLinks, afterNavLinks, but I don't know how to write custom components. Are there any relevant use cases? (Your theme is great, starred it, but it seems to be a direct rewrite of the entire navbar)
