Back to the Organizing the Navigation Menus Video
all right welcome so in this video we're
going to go over how to organize the
menu links that appear in the top
navigation on your site the first thing
you'll want to do is hover over
structure then go to menus and then
you'll choose the menu from here now by
default your site's gonna be set up with
this guy right here main navigation but
of course if you decide to utilize the
the feature in this platform where you
get to choose or set up multiple menu
structures for various landing pages
things like that then you can choose any
of those menus here but for purposes of
what we're doing here most folks are
probably just going to be messing about
the main navigation so that's what we'll
do today we're gonna update this main
nav so I'll go ahead and click on that
real quick so we can see what it looks
like
now this is gonna take me to a page
where it shows me a list of all the
different menu links that I currently
have in my top navigation bar the menus
that are all the way to the left are the
parent level links that appear at the
very top and then the ones that are
nestled on to the right of those are
going to be the child menu links so if I
go back to the home page here you can
see that Colorado mountains is at the
very top and to the left so that means
it's going to be the first menu link
that appears at the very top level and
then you'll see as I hover over this
Mount Evans appears and if we look down
here we'll see you Mountain Evans is the
first child level menu link that appears
below Colorado mountains this is a
drag-and-drop view so really all you
need to do to reorganize the links that
you've got here is just drag and drop
them into the position that you like so
let's say for example that we want to
move contacts well tear to the very
beginning before Colorado mountains all
I do is I try to locate the contacts
link back it's at the very top
like so and then let's do one more let's
say I wanted maybe this long speech menu
link to you up here as a child menu link
underneath Mount heaven so it'd be here
in this list at the top here then what I
do is I would go ahead and find the long
speak menu and then I would pull it up
drag it to the right and then pull it to
the very top here
now that I've got all my changes that I
know I'm gonna want I'll have to save
you'll see that there's a message here
that says that I've made some changes
but they're not saved yet so I'm going
to scroll down all the way to the bottom
and click Save
formation message let's go ahead and go
to the home page
you'll see here's contacts very left and
if I go over Colorado mountains Mount
Evans longs peak is right there
now you also notice that there are some
other options when you go into that menu
so if we go to structure menus and I
look at my main navigation again you'll
see that we have have the option to
enable links to display or not display
so let's say maybe I just have no use
for having this contacts menu link
appearing here anymore all I need to do
is I can click or check that box there
or enable them that'll disable the link
so that it won't show up in the main nav
anymore so let's go ahead and click Save
and if we go back to our homepage you
can see now it's gone you also have the
ability to edit links and create new
links so if I go back into the main
navigation here you'll see that I have
the option to you just completely delete
a link or I can edit a link by clicking
on that and then you can update the URL
or the path that needs to link to or
anything else really whichever you need
to do there and then also you can add a
link by clicking this button here at the
top or if you hover over structure menus
and then hover a remain navigation or
really any of the menus here you see
that there's an option to add add a link
