Changing your department.kzoo.edu Site Navigation

On department sites, users with the “designer” role can edit the site navigation.

1. From your dashboard menu (located on the left sidebar), hover over Appearance and select menus
2. Select the menu that you want to edit. Most sites will just have one menu defined, as recommended. Click create menu if you don’t have a menu defined.
3. From the menu editing screen you can:
   • Add new items: checkbox items under the “Page” section and click “Add to Menu” to have them appear on your top navigation.
   • Edit existing items: click the dropdown arrow next to the item you wish to edit, and change the “Navigation Label” (the text that appears on your top navigation).
   • Remove existing items: click the dropdown arrow next to the item you wish to remove and click the Remove link.
   • Change the order: in the “Menu Structure,” drag-and-drop menu items to change the order. You can also drag an item to be indented under another, which will make the indented item a dropdown option of the higher-level item.
4. Under Menu Settings select the location your menu will display in: Top (horizontally under your site title), Left (vertically along the left margin), or neither (if you only want it to appear as a page block or a sidebar widget). It is not recommended to check the “Auto add pages” box.

When you are done editing, be sure to click the Save Menu button to submit your changes.
