This sentence uses the passive voice, which focuses on the object receiving the action instead of who is doing it. For example:
The navigation menu was appreciated. – This means people liked it, but it doesn't say who liked it.
In the active voice, you would say The users appreciated the navigation menu. – This clearly shows who did the action.
The passive voice is often used when the person doing the action is unknown or not important. Another example:
The report was completed on time. – You know the report is done, but you don't know or need to say who completed it.
