Business Central 17 Clears Up Confusion by Reducing Use of Navigate
This is a change in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central version 17. Customers gave feedback to Microsoft that the word “Navigate” is used in too many places in the menu, which is confusing. I agree; many times, I’d tell a customer to click on “Navigate”, and they’d click the wrong one. Microsoft replaced the word “Navigate” in a few places.
This is an example of a G/L Entry:
In Business Central version 16, Navigate was next to Actions. It was also in the Actions menu:

In Business Central version 17, Navigate on the top menu has been changed to Related with the same options underneath:

Actions → Navigate has changed to Actions → Find Entries, but it still opens the “old” Navigate function.

Navigate has not gone away completely, though.
On the Posted Sales Invoice List page, click Navigate → Customer to see the Customer Card:

Click Invoice → Find Entries to open the “old” Navigate function:

Click Related → Invoice to see more information about the invoice (“Related” was formerly “Navigate”):

On the Posted Sales Invoice page, use Navigate → Customer to see the Customer Card:

Actions → Find Entries will get you to the “old” Navigate function:
