Manage menus to help visitors find their way around the site. Menus are fully customizable, showing any link your client wants – site pages, external websites, or even their phone number.

Before you start:

This article refers to the old menu. These menus are no longer available to add in the Add Elements panel. However, you can manage any existing old menus with the steps in this article.
We recently released our new menu component, which affects horizontal, vertical, and hamburger menus. For steps on adding and setting up new menus, please click here.

How do I know which menu I have?

You can always adjust an existing menu and the items it shows. Add more items, remove ones that are irrelevant or change their order to keep the menu fresh.

To manage a menu:

Select the relevant menu in the Editor.
Click Manage Menu.
Choose what to do next:

Add more menu items

Change a menu item's link

Rename a menu item

Remove a menu item

Reorder menu items

Creating drop-down submenus

There are 2 ways to create a new submenu, depending on what you want the title to be:

An existing menu item: Decide on an existing item (page or link) from the menu to show the submenu when visitors hover over it.
A title that is not clickable: Add a Submenu title that does not lead to any page. Visitors hover over it to see the submenu.

To move items under a new submenu:

Select the relevant menu in the Editor.
Click Manage Menu.
(Optional) Add a non-clickable title for the submenu:
1. Click + Add Item.
2. Select Submenu title.
3. Enter the new title for the submenu.
4. Press the Enter key on your keyboard to save your changes.
Move menu items to the submenu:
1. Drag a menu item to move it below the submenu title.
  Tip: The submenu title is either another menu item, or the non-clickable title you added.
2. Hover over the same item and click the More Actions icon .
3. Select Move under "Page Name".
4. Repeat step a - c for all other submenu items.

Displaying multiple menus on the same site

You can create as many menus as you need and show completely different items in each.

After adding a new menu element, you can choose which menu it should display: An existing menu that you saved, or a new one that you create on the spot. This means you can save menus and reuse them on various menu elements across the site.

Showing the same item on multiple menus?

You can give the item a unique name on each menu so it always match the specific intent. All the menus that you create are completely independent of one another.
