Drag items to change their display order and move them to the right to make sub-items. You can edit them by clicking the down arrow symbol.

As a rule, website menus are organized as follows:

  • Top Menu consists of pages (About Us, Contact Us, Blog, etc.

  • Main Menu consists of product categories

  • Footer Menu (Company Info)  – company info pages

  • Footer Menu (Need some help?) – helpful links

After editing your menu, check the desired display location at the bottom of the page in Menu Settings. Click Save Menu.

Alternatively, you can use Manage with Live Preview at the top of the page to see changes on your website front-end as you make them.
