Menu Builder

Your primary navigation menu is composed of two types of sections: Single and Multiple.

Single Section

• Contains just one webpage.

• Set these up first as they act as containers for the pages you'll add later.

Multiple Section

• Contains several pages and appears as a dropdown menu.

• Must house at least three pages. If only two pages, consider combining them into a Single section.

By establishing these sections first, you create the framework needed to add individual pages to your navigation menu

A newly created section will only appear in the navigation menu if you add it to the Menu Builder field in your Settings collection.
