Using the customization option, you can link pages to your menus and add external URLs (links) to your website and apps. You can add these links under three menus on the platform:

  • Header Menu

  • Side Menu

  • Footer Menu

Header menu:

1. From the left menu, select Apps → Responsive Website → Website(Beta).

2. Select the Header menu and scroll down the page to the menu section.

3. Select the "Down arrow" next to the menu.

4. You will see an option to add/edit menu items.

5. Under the menu title, Enter the title of the menu you want to add and on the pages section, you can see the list of pages created on the platform.

6. Since we are adding a page URL, you need to select "Add Page URL" and under the URL, Enter the page URL you want to add to your header menu.

7. You can also enable the "Open External" toggle to open the link in a new tab on the website.

8. Once the details are added, select the Add option and then press the Save button to add the menu to your website.

Note: You can able to edit the added menus only after pressing the save button. If you try to edit the menu after just pressing the Add option, the edit option will not work.

9. Once the URL is added, you can use the Edit and Delete options to make changes to the added menu. Once the updated details are added, you can see an "Update" option under the menu, select the option to update the menu, and after that press the save button to complete the process.
