How to Add Items To A Dropdown Within The Navigation Menu
The Navigation Bar is the map of your website. And just like any good map it needs to be organized and clear. An easy way to keep it tidy is by using dropdown menus. These elements inside the Navigation Bar allow you to organize items into smaller categories for a compact look.
Does this sound like something you need? Let's go over how to set it up! Start by dragging and dropping the Navigation Menu element into your funnel or website. Keep in mind, that we've already added the section, row, and columns in this example.
Once you've added the menu, click on it to open the general settings. In there, look for the +Add Item option.
Enter the name of your new item, in this case, "Company" then press “Submit” to save.
To add the item under an existing category, such as "About," drag and drop the "Company" item under the "About" category. This action groups "Company" with any other items listed under "About," creating a dropdown effect.
After positioning the "Company" item under the desired category, make sure to save your changes. Look for a save button or icon and click it to update the navigation menu.
To ensure your changes have been applied correctly, preview the navigation menu. The "Company" item should now appear as part of a dropdown under the "About" category.
Practical Example
Imagine that you have recently expanded your team. You want to add a "Team" section to your website, accessible through the navigation menu. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily add "Team" as a dropdown item under the "About" category, making it simple for visitors to find information about your team.

Troubleshooting Tips
- Item Not Appearing: If the new item does not appear in the dropdown as expected, ensure you've saved the changes and refreshed the preview. Double-check that you've correctly dragged the item under the desired category.
- Incorrect Placement: If the item appears in the wrong place, you can easily drag it to the correct position and save the changes again.
