Reorder items in the section menu

Updated over 2 months ago

What is a Section Menu?

A section menu appears on your public website and displays a list of all pages within a specific section. This navigation tool helps visitors easily find and access related content on your site.

For example, if you have a "Student Life" section with pages about clubs, sports, and events, the section menu will show all these related pages in one convenient location.

Section Menu Visibility

You have flexible control over when section menus appear:

  • Hide on all pages: Turn off section menus completely across your entire website

  • Hide on individual pages: Keep section menus visible site-wide, but hide them on specific pages where they're not needed

How to Reorder Section Menu Items

Follow these simple steps to change the order of items in your section menu:

Step 1: Navigate to Pages

Access your content management dashboard and go to the Pages section.

Step 2: Find Your Section

Website administrators and users with appropriate access should navigate to the category and section they want to modify.

Step 3: Drag and Drop to Reorder

Look for the 6-dots button (⋮⋮) on the left side of each page item. Click and hold this button, then drag the item up or down to your desired position.

Step 4: View Your Changes

Important Notes

Published Pages Only: Remember that unpublished pages will not appear in the section menu on your public website, even if they're listed in your admin area. Make sure to publish pages when you're ready for them to be visible to visitors.

Quick Tips for Success

  • Test your changes by viewing the public website after reordering

  • Consider organizing menu items logically (alphabetically, by importance, or chronologically)

  • Remember that visitors will see the section menu in the exact order you've arranged it in the admin panel
