Managing Menus

The Navigation section controls the menus in your website's header and footer — which links they contain, in what order, and how they look. Changes show in a live preview before you save anything.

Prerequisites#

Navigation is available to site admins. If you don't see it in the menu, ask your site administrator.

Adding a menu item#

1. In the left menu, click Navigation.
2. In Header Navigation (or Footer Navigation), click Add menu item.
3. Fill in:
   • Label — the text shown in the menu.
   • Page — pick one of your published pages; the URL fills itself in. Or leave it empty and enter a URL manually (for external links use the full address, e.g. https://example.com).
   • Target — open in the Same tab or a New tab.
   • Icon — optional icon next to the label.
   • Description — optional; some designs show it in dropdown menus.
4. Click Save Navigation in the top right.

Reorder items with the up/down arrows on each item. Collapse items you're not editing to keep the list tidy.

Submenus (dropdowns)#

Each menu item has a Submenu section. Click Add submenu item inside it to nest links that appear in a dropdown under the parent item. Submenu items have the same fields as regular ones.

The Design tab#

Next to Menu Items there's a Design tab for both the header and footer:

• Header design: colors (background, text, hover, active link), border and shadow, typography (system or Google Fonts, size, weight), layout (height, logo height, gap and alignment of links, icon position), dropdown colors, and behavior — a Sticky header toggle and background opacity slider.
• Footer design: colors, typography, layout (vertical padding, single row vs. stacked), icon position, and a copyright text with a show/hide toggle.

Live preview#

The preview pane shows your site with the changes applied as you edit — before saving. Once everything looks right, click Save Navigation to publish the changes to the live site.

Menus in more languages#

On multilingual sites, every item has a Translations section where you enter the label per language. Links pointing to a page switch automatically to that page's translation — you don't set URLs per language. See Languages and Translations.

Frequently asked questions#

My new page isn't offered in the Page select. Only published pages (and archives) are offered. Publish the page first.

I saved but the site shows the old menu. Do a hard refresh in the browser. The menu updates immediately after saving.
