The sidebar has been rebuilt around the idea of scope — the workspace, group, or matter you are currently working in. Navigation, dashboards, and the create button all adapt to where you are, so you stop bouncing between unrelated context every time you click a link.

What is new

• Scope selector at the top of the sidebar lets you pin Juristic to your whole workspace, a specific group, or a single matter.
• Context-aware menu links resolve dynamically — My work, My groups, Dashboards and the AI entry now point to the right place based on the active scope.
• Pinnable menu items with per-user overrides, plus organization-wide menu defaults so admins can decide which items every user sees pinned by default.
• Redesigned sidebar footer: a Help popper with knowledge base + changelog links, an Admin / App toggle button, and a refined user profile menu with avatar and email.
• Collapsed mode keeps the sidebar narrow and surfaces sub-menus through a popper, with hover tooltips on the scope selector.
• Welcome onboarding modal introduces the new scope concept the first time a user logs in after the update.

Why it is useful

Most work in Juristic happens inside a matter or a group, but the sidebar previously stayed identical regardless of where you were. Anchoring the navigation to a scope means fewer clicks to reach the dashboards, boards, and AI tools that belong to the case in front of you, and gives admins a way to standardize the navigation across the whole organization.
