Before building menus, we recommend formalizing your site's information architecture (IA) and being comfortable working with architect pages.

You'll need permission to access the Architect Tab to build or modify menus.

Create a new menu page

Open the Theme Press Designer
Locate the Architect tab and navigate to the Menu section
At the bottom of that section, expand the Create link
Select One Level and give your new menu a name
Press the +Menu button

Create a new menu page

By default, any new menu page will have pre-populated content. Each bullet list item translates to a menu item. To edit the demo content

1. Edit the first and only block on the new menu page Editing Block Content

2. Customize the bullet list. Use the Rich Text Editor to link to Confluence content or external content.

3. Save the page and notice how the bullet list items have translated into top level menu items.
