1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Interface, and then select **User Interface**.
2. Under User Interface, select **Show Lightning vertical navigation**. Selecting this setting also selects the **Enable Seamless App Switching in Lightning Experience Vertical Navigation** setting.
3. Save.

After you turn on the vertical navigation bar, review the corresponding Salesforce documentation to give users access to apps. Users sometimes need to refresh or log out and back in to Salesforce to see changes.
