Hello Tobias, HEllo Vincent, thank you for your quick answers! I am also very interested in some links where I can read something about the correct way of creating a panel, especially a navigation panel.

Re: [xwiki-users] Customizing navigation menu in sidebar
Hi Willi, The Navigation Panel ( http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Panels+Application#HNavigationPanel ), which I think you are referring to, doesn't support manual ordering. If the navigation menu you want to put in place doesn't change very often (and you're OK with hard-coding it) then you can use the Menu Application, but also the static Tree Macro ( http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Tree+Macro#HStaticTree ). If you need the navigation menu to be dynamic (as it is right now) then you can either create a custom tree (starting from the http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Document+Tree+Macro ) or use the Menu Application with some scripting as in http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Menu+Application#HHierarchyPanel .
