Wavebox (☰ Burger) Menu

Last updated on 22 May 2025

The main Wavebox Menu (☰ three horizontal lines) is a central hub for Wavebox features and tools. You’ll find it on the right-hand side of the toolbar, in the top-right corner of the main Wavebox window.

A similar burger menu can be seen in the top-left corner of any Dashboard when advanced Dashboards are enabled, or shared with a team.

- Click the ☰ icon in the top-right corner of the Wavebox window.

Dashboard Menu (top-right):
- In Advanced Dashboard Management (or Team) mode, dashboards also have a ☰ in the top-left.
- Click to switch or create multiple dashboards, share them with a team, or set one as your new tab page.

Advanced Dashboards Common Actions

If you’ve enabled advanced dashboards—or you’re part of a Team account—you’ll see a Burger Menu in the top-left of the dashboard. Use it to:

Switch Dashboards
Instantly navigate between multiple dashboards (e.g., different projects or teams).
Create New Dashboard
Build custom dashboards with widgets, apps, and tabs for a clean workflow.
Share with Team
Make your dashboard visible to teammates for easy collaboration.
Set as New Tab Page
Show a specific dashboard every time you open a new tab.
Delete Dashboard
Remove unused dashboards from your list.

Troubleshooting Tips

Can’t See the Dashboard Menu?
- Enable Advanced Dashboard Management by opening your dashboard settings. Without it, only one dashboard is visible and the top-left menu won’t appear.
Missing or Grayed-Out Options?
- Some options (e.g. Share with Team) require a Wavebox team account or certain features turned on.
- If you’re using Wavebox as a minimal standalone window, you’ll see fewer menu items.
Menu Not Responding?
- Restart Wavebox to fix minor UI glitches.
- Check for updates under Settings > About > Check for Update Now.
