ADI: Managing Your Site Menu

6 min read
Your site menu allows visitors to navigate through your site. You can hide and rename menu items, set items as sub-items and create a drop-down menu, and even change which page of your site acts as your homepage.
  • For multi-page sites: The menu items are the page names. When you add a new page to your site, the page name is added to the menu.
  • For one-page sites: The menu items are the names of the page sections on your site. When you add a new section to your site, the section name is added to the menu. If you add a new page, your menu acts as it would for a multi-page site, and you see the page names instead.
In this article, learn more about:
