Add a page to the navigation

Once a page has been created and published, the next step is to add it to the navigation so visitors can see and click it in the menu.



  1. Click “Header” in the left sidebar. This opens the settings for your website’s header area.

  2. Select “Navigation” in the middle column. This takes you to the header navigation structure.

  3. Click the “Navigation” document in the next column. This document contains all current menu entries.

  4. In the “Items” section, click “Add item”. This creates a new navigation entry.

  5. Enter a label. The Label field is a custom name for the navigation. If the field is left empty, the page title is used automatically.

  6. For the new entry, choose the link type “Simple link” or “Dropdown”. Use Simple link for a single menu item and Dropdown when you want to group multiple subpages under one parent item.

  7. Link the entry to the desired page. In the reference field, choose the page that should appear in the menu.

  8. Move the new entry to the desired position. Drag and drop the entry to the correct place in the menu.

  9. Click “Publish”. The new navigation item appears on the live website only after publishing.
