# Dashboard Navigation Updates: Project Settings

As part of our [ongoing efforts](https://github.com/orgs/supabase/discussions/33670) to make Dashboard easier to use, **we’re moving service-related settings in their respective areas**. Take database settings, for example:

- **Previously:** you had to go to Project Settings → Database to make database-related configuration changes.
- **Now:** Any database-related configuration can be found in Database → Configuration.

Project-level settings like Data API will remain in Project Settings.

| Before | After |

| _Before: No database settings to be found!_ | _After: Database settings along with access control in one simple section._ |

Pretty simple. But, because we’re changing routes, this might confuse folks expecting to find things where they used to be.

Here’s how we’re making this change as smooth as possible:

- Redirects have been added so the old URLs will keep on working.
- References in documentation have been updated.
- The old navigation (e.g. Project Settings → Storage) will stick around for a few months. They’ll just be treated as shortcuts to their new homes.

## What’s affected

The full list of affected services and/or settings include:

- Database
- Data API
- Authentication
- Storage
- Edge Functions
- Log Drains

| _Previously: service-level settings scattered throughout Project Settings and their own areas._ | _Now: all moved out to their respective areas, but shortcuts remain here in Project Settings._ | _Later: we’ll remove these shortcuts to make Project Settings less noisy._ |

## Code changes

See #37580 for the _Now_ changes (later today) and #37612 for the _Later_ changes (scheduled for a few months from now).

## What’s next

Some of our settings aren’t so neat, bridging multiple services or arguably children of existing setting sections. Examples include Data API and Log Drains. We’re looking into how to better categorise them over time, which may mean more navigation changes. We’ll let you know if those happen.
