Build a menu
Add, nest and reorder menu items, link them to pages or addresses, and hide items for later.
How-to guide1 min read
Open Library › Navigation. Each menu, such as the header or footer, is a tab.
Add an item
- Choose Add item.
- In the side panel, pick what it links to: a page in the CMS, an address, or No link for a heading that only opens a submenu.
- Give it a label. Optional: a description, a badge such as "New", and an icon name your website knows. The description's first line is the short text under the label; later lines can hold more detail, such as the text on a large card in a mega menu. Descriptions and icons are for richer menus, such as a mega menu that opens under a heading; a plain menu shows only the label.
Arrange
- Drag an item by its handle to reorder it.
- Drag it sideways to put it inside the item above, or back out. Four levels at most.
- From the keyboard, the item's menu moves it up, down, in and out.
- Expand all and Collapse all help with long menus; search finds an item by its label.
Hide an item
Switch an item off to keep it in the menu without the website showing it, for a page that is written but not announced yet.
Save
Changes are kept until you choose Save. The bar at the bottom says when there are unsaved changes, and leaving the page asks first.
Tip
A menu item pointing at a page that is not live shows up under broken links.
