Implement new backend UI layout for submission lists
Describe the problem you would like to solve The new submission lists (#7495) need as much width as possible and has a left sidebar that . The current UI has a fixed side navigation menu that uses up a lot of space.
Describe the solution you'd like Implement a collapsible side navigation panel. Mockups of a new backend UI can be found below. In addition to the open/collapsed state, the top navigation items are moved into the side panel.
Who is asking for this feature? This is needed for #7495.
