Navigation & Sub-Navigation Menus

The Navigation and Sub-Navigation Menus are links to internal pages of your website. A well-structured Navigation Menu helps your site visitors find the information they are looking for.
Edit your navigation’s design by right-clicking on the navigation and selecting Edit Design.

Layout

The Layout section lets you easily switch between one of the several designs for the navigation bar. Keep in mind you can modify the design of any of these layouts, so just pick one which looks similar to the design you want, and then see the later sections of this article for customizing the look even further.
To use the navigation capabilities (either published or unpublished), users will need to actively change a layout. The new navigation uses different CSS selectors so switching the layout will reset the navigation customization and allow the user to customize it again. Clicking undo will bring back the old navigation.

Sub Navigation Layout

If your site contains subpages, then you will also have access to a Sub Navigation Layout section. From here you can select a layout for how the subpages on your site will appear. Just like the main navigation layout, you can also modify the sub navigation layout in later sections.
