To do this, go to Settings->Customizations:

And select Customize the system:

Select Client Extensions->Site Map:

This will take you to the Sitemap Designer in PowerApps:

There are 3 parts to a sitemap:

• Area – e.g. Sales, Marketing, Settings etc
• Group – e.g. My Work, Customers, Tools etc
• Subarea – e.g. Dashboards, What’s New, Accounts, Contacts etc

Let’s first rename existing ones.

Select the Sales area, and click to edit. Rename to Sales Renamed:

Select the My Work group, and select to edit it. Enter My Work Renamed:
