STEP TWO: Find and Open Your Navigation Set

This tab will show you all the navigation sets you have on your site. Find the area you wish to change and open it to edit.  In this example, I’m going to edit the top/primary navigation bar. This is the bar along the top of the website that displays your categories and subcategories.

Locate the item you’d like to edit and click the Open button.

STEP FOUR: Add a New Navigation Set Item

To add a new sub-category, select the top-level category you wish to add to, then select the Add Child Navigation Item button. The same window that appears when you edit an item will appear when you create one. This again gives you the opportunity to fill in a name and select what you’d like the item to link to. When you’re done, click save.
