Navigation should make the most important customer paths easy to find. Keep labels short, links current, and nested menu items limited to pages that genuinely help visitors choose their next step.

What this guide helps you do

• Add, remove, reorder, and nest navigation links.
• Keep primary and secondary navigation aligned with current pages.
• Review navigation after page URL changes.

Before you start

• Know the pages, labels, and URLs that should appear in navigation.
• Confirm which links belong in primary navigation and which belong in secondary or footer navigation.
• Create redirects first if old page URLs are changing.

Do it manually

1. Open Settings or Website navigation settings.
2. Choose primary or secondary navigation.
3. Add the label and URL for each item.
4. Drag items to reorder or place children under a parent when a dropdown makes sense.
5. Remove stale links and save the navigation settings.
6. Preview the site on desktop and mobile before publishing related page changes.

Review before saving or publishing

• Avoid adding private preview URLs to public navigation.

• Keep dropdowns short enough to scan on mobile.

Common issues and fixes

• If a navigation item opens the wrong page, verify the saved URL and republish the site.
• If mobile navigation feels crowded, move less important links to secondary navigation or footer.
• If a renamed page still has traffic, add a redirect from the old URL.
