Navigation

You'll change the links visitors use to move around your website. Header and Footer are shared settings under Globals. Publishing a change here can affect every page.

A new page does not automatically appear in navigation. Publish the page first, then add a link where visitors need it.

Add a Header linkLink to this section

1. Open Header in the Admin menu, then choose Navigation.
2. Choose Add Item. Set Item Type to Link.
3. Enter Label, the words visitors see in the menu.
4. Choose Internal Link to select a page, or Custom URL to enter an address. For a custom address on your own site, use its page path, such as /about.
5. Keep Open in new tab clear for ordinary site navigation. Choose Save Draft while reviewing, then Publish changes.

Item Type	Chooses Link or Sub Navigation.	Use Link for one destination.
Label	Sets the visible menu words.	Keep labels short and familiar.
Link Type	Chooses a typed address or a page or other content.	An internal selection avoids typing a page address by hand.
Enter a URL	Holds the custom destination.	Use a full address for another website.
Open in new tab	Opens the destination separately.	Use only when that is useful to visitors.
Call to Actions	Holds the Header's prominent action links or buttons.	Keep the main action easy to identify.

Organize the HeaderLink to this section

Use the drag handle on an item to change its order. Collapse All and Show All help with longer menus. An item's menu offers row actions; check the item before removing it.

Choose Sub Navigation when you need a group of links under one menu label. Give the group a clear label and add its child links in the fields that appear. Check the menu on both desktop and a smaller screen.

For a prominent action such as booking or contacting you, open Call to Actions. Review the button title, appearance, and destination before publishing.

Edit Footer linksLink to this section

1. Open Footer in the menu and choose Navigation.
2. Choose Add Item, enter Label, and complete Link Type and its destination.
3. Review the order, save a draft, then choose Publish changes when ready.

Check afterwardsLink to this section

Open the public site after publishing. Check the Header menu and Footer on more than one page. Follow each changed link and test the smaller-screen menu. The link should open a published page, and the label should match what visitors find there.

If a shared change needs to be undone, use Versions on the Header or Footer and review the earlier version before restoring it. See Drafts and versions.
