Edit a menu

You have the ability to edit all of your menus in uConnect! You are able to edit the existing items and links in your menus, edit the dropdowns in your menus, and you can remove items from your menus too. You can also create new menus from scratch so read this article to learn how to create new menus. 

However, please remember: when you create a new Community (Hero) menus specifically, you will need our Support Team to take it live for you by activating a new Menu widget on the pages you prefer.  Submit a widget ticket for that type of request! 

Menu Types

There are three types of menus you can edit in your platform:

• A Primary/Main Navigation Menu (sits on your front page)

• Hero/Community Navigation Menu (serves as an inner menu on Community pages)

• Footer Menu (sits at the bottom of your platform)
  
  

How to Edit a Menu

To edit an existing menu, first navigate to the Customize > Menus area of your dashboard.

From there, you will want to click on the menu dropdown bar to choose which menu you want to edit and then hitting "Select" to begin editing.

In short, you'll want to:

1. Investigate the menu buttons to make sure they match what are on the page

2. If it's a hero community menu, use the Widget IDs to ensure they match the Widget IDs that are in the menu buttons themselves
   ​

Once you've selected a menu that you would like to edit, you have multiple options. You can click directly into a given menu item to update the text of that menu item, you can drag and drop to rearrange where that menu item appears within the menu, or you can select a menu item and then hit the 'Delete' button to remove it from your menu. You also are able to add new menu items from the left-hand side bar set of options. To better understand adding new menu items, please review this article here.

After making any changes, don't forget to hit 'Save Menu!'
