# How do I change the nav portlet?

What I want to do: Change the navigation portlet so that only the current top folder and its contents appear.

The fix:

Go to the <span class="caps">ZMI</span> in Plone.  
Go to portal\_properties → navtree\_properties  
Uncheck “includeTop”   
Put the “topLevel” equal to 1.
