Hi @SD_10008359 

I guess that there could be miss spelling in a name of the action or somewhere.

In my case I've added the navigation tab now. So there should not be any trouble with it.

in my case 

actionModels.xml

actions.xml

 Result: 

If you use Tools customization tab, you can just reload Actions, if not restart method server.
