Refreshing/side nav is too laborious

Every time I edit something that affects the side nav, I have to refresh and when I do that I am returned to the top of the side nav and often have to spend some time hunting for where I left off in that nav. Sometimes, I get interrupted at that moment and totally lose my place and forget what I was doing so this is risky to my authoring process. Two things that would reduce the time and effort here: 1) Refresh the site whenever I save edits to a page that affects the side nav (a prompt to do that would be fine), and 2) Hold my place in that nav when refreshing.
