Editing an existing menu

Editing an existing menu

In Digital Experience Engine, a menu structure may have been created previously that you want to edit. Editing an existing menu can be done right from any page that currently has a menu on it. An edit pencil will appear as you scroll over the menu content area. 

1. Select “Configure” to: 

   1. Change the menu title
   2. Display the title
   3. Set the visibility of your menu
   4. Region: This will be populated with the region you selected when first created. You can change it to a different region here as needed. 

   5. When all settings are configured as you like, click Save block at the bottom.

       

2. Select ”Edit” to see the name of the menu on the page. This may help you locate the menu when you navigate to Structure > Menus to find the menu you need to edit and add a link to. Don’t forget to nest those menu links appropriately! You can also access the Settings for the menu:
   
   1. Contextual Menu Logic - Checkbox checked indicates menu should retrieve the name and URL of the current page and set the active menu item to the appropriate contextual state.
   2. Start at Context - Checkbox checked indicates that menu should start displaying link hierarchy at the current context. If left unchecked, the complete menu hierarchy will be accessible to site visitors. Only applicable if Contextual Menu Logic checkbox is checked.
   3. Show Parent Menu Item - Checkbox checked indicates that heading should be overridden with the parent menu item associated with the current page (if available). Only applicable if Contextual Menu Logic and Start at Context are both checked.
   4. Show Child Links - Checkbox checked indicates that menu should display immediate child links associated with the current menu item; if there are no child links, the current menu item and any corresponding siblings will be rendered instead. Only applicable if Contextual Menu Logic checkbox is checked.

Best practice is to select all menu settings for the menu to behave as expected.
