24 September: Nested section groups, new change request review options and more
We’ve added nested group support for site sections, allowing you to create hierarchical navigation — plus a few other improvements and fixes
✨ New and noteworthy
Nested section groups
Support for nested section groups is here! You can now add multiple section groups within a section group and give them all a title and icon. You can even mix sections and nested section groups together — the sections will display in a separate area within the group menu.

We’ve also made some small quality-of-life improvements to the section header. They include a new scrolling system that adds faded edges and scroll buttons when your sections are wider than the container, and some fixes that make sections and groups more responsive and better positioned.
A new toolbar when viewing your docs
You may have noticed a new toolbar that appears when you’re viewing your live docs site, or when viewing a change request preview in its own tab. This new toolbar gives you quick access to useful options with a click — and you can minimize it if you don’t need it.
In a change request preview, the toolbar lets you quickly leave feedback on the change request, view the live site, view the change request in the GitBook app or jump to the editor. This toolbar is only visible to people viewing the change request preview.

A similar toolbar now also appears on you live docs site, only for members of your organization who are logged into GitBook. So if you or a teammate visits your live site, you’ll see the toolbar and can quickly jump to the docs in GitBook to change settings, customize the site, check the insights or edit the content.
Review process improvements
We’ve been working on improvements to the review flow to take advantage of the new side panel we recently launched.
We’ve tweaked the icon for adding reviewers from a cog (which took inspiration from GitHub) to a plus + icon — which makes it clear that it lets you add more reviewers.
We’ve also added a new system that marks previous reviews as outdated when you request a new one — or when you add a new review to a change request you’ve already reviewed. Plus, we’ve added a button that lets you re-request a review.
We’re constantly working to improve the way you and your team work in GitBook, and we value your input on features, bugs, and more. Make sure you head to our official GitBook community to join the discussion.
