Editing & Content

Managing your site's navigation menu

Use the menu editor to rename, reorder, and hide navigation items, and understand how menus differ between single-page and multipage sites.

Your site's navigation menu is how visitors move around — whether they're jumping to a section on a single page or moving between separate pages. You can adjust the menu in the editor without regenerating your site, so it always reflects the labels and order you want.

Opening the menu editor

From your dashboard, open the site you want to change and go to its navigation menu. The editor lists your menu items in the order they appear on the live site.

What you can change

The menu editor gives you a few straightforward controls:

  • Rename items. Change a menu label to something clearer or shorter — for example renaming "Offerings" to "Services". Renaming the menu label doesn't change the section's content.
  • Reorder items. Move items up or down to set the order visitors see. Put your most important links first.
  • Hide items. Hide a menu entry you don't want shown without deleting the underlying section, then unhide it later if you change your mind.

After you make changes, save and re-publish the site so visitors see the updated menu. See Editing your website content for how saving and publishing work.

Single-page versus multipage menus

How your menu behaves depends on the layout the site uses, which you can choose in your design preferences before generating.

Single-page sites

On a single-page layout, every section lives on one page. Menu items act as anchors that scroll the visitor down to the matching section — clicking "Contact" smoothly scrolls to the contact area rather than loading a new page. Keep these menus short so the page feels easy to scan.

Multipage sites

On a multipage layout, your content is split across separate pages, and menu items link to those pages. Clicking "About" loads the About page. Multipage menus suit sites with more content, where grouping it onto distinct pages keeps each one focused.

Tips for a clear menu

  • Use short, predictable labels like Home, About, Services, and Contact.
  • Limit the number of top-level items so nothing feels cluttered.
  • Lead with the links visitors need most and hide anything that isn't ready yet.
  • Review the menu on a narrow screen to confirm it still reads well on mobile.

If you want to switch between a single-page and multipage structure, that's set with your layout preference — changing it generally means regenerating the site, which counts against your monthly regeneration limit.

Still need help? If a menu change doesn't appear after publishing or a link points to the wrong place, open a support ticket from your support page with your site name and the menu item involved.
