Menu Management
Menus define the navigation structure of your Varbase site. They control how visitors browse and find content by providing organized sets of links displayed in various locations across the site.
Overview
Varbase comes with several pre-configured menus:
Main Navigation
The Main navigation menu is the primary navigation menu displayed to site visitors, typically appearing in the site header. It contains links to the most important pages and sections of your site.
Footer Menu
The Footer menu contains links displayed in the site's footer area. Common items include links to privacy policy, terms of service, contact information, and other utility pages.
Admin Menu
The Administration menu is used by the admin navigation sidebar (powered by the Navigation module) and provides links to all administrative sections. This menu is only visible to authenticated users with administrative permissions.
Other Menus
Your site may include additional custom menus created for specific purposes, such as a secondary navigation, sidebar navigation, or social media links.
Accessing Menu Management
Navigate to Structure > Menus in the admin navigation sidebar, or go to
/admin/structure/menu.You will see a list of all menus on the site.
Click Edit menu to manage a specific menu's items.
Menu Management Tasks

Key Concepts
Menu item: A single link within a menu. Each menu item has a title, URL, and optional parent item.
Parent item: A menu item can be nested under another item to create a hierarchical (dropdown) menu structure.
Weight: Determines the order of menu items at the same level. Items with lower weights appear first. Drag-and-drop reordering adjusts weights automatically.
Enabled / Disabled: Menu items can be enabled or disabled. Disabled items remain in the menu configuration but are not displayed to site visitors.
