The list of available items contains only those items in your org that are eligible for Lightning app navigation bars, which includes:

- Most standard objects, including Home, the main Chatter feed, Groups, and People
- Your org’s custom objects and apps
- Visualforce tabs
- Lightning component tabs
- Lightning page tabs
- Canvas apps via Visualforce tabs
- Web tabs

If the Lightning app was installed from a managed package, you can append navigation items below the original set of navigation items included in the Lightning app, which are locked.
