# Navigation

The site's menus define its structure: what appears in the header, the footer and the side navigation, and in what order. Authors and Approvers manage them — no extra role is needed.

See a nested page with the sidebar menu on the demo site: <https://govcms.convivial.io/demo/content/test-page/test-nested-page>

## Managing menus

Authors position a page in the menu from its edit form (see [Menu](/convivial-for-govcms/content-editing/editing-a-page.md#menu)). To see the whole structure at once go to *Manage → Structure → Menus* (`/admin/structure/menu`).

The site has several menus: **Main navigation** for the primary structure, **Secondary** and **Tools** for utility links in the header, **Footer** and **Socials** for the footer. On phones the Secondary menu is folded into the main menu so visitors get one combined menu.

### Main navigation

Open **Main navigation** to see every link as a tree.

* **Reorder** by dragging the handle on the left of a link. Drag right to nest it under the link above. Click **Save** at the bottom — nothing moves until you do.
* **Enable or disable** a link with its checkbox to hide it without deleting it.
* **Edit** a link to change its title, the page it points to, or its parent. **Delete** removes only the link, not the page.

Links created from a page's **Menu settings** stay attached to that page: deleting the page deletes the link, and the link title is what visitors see in the menu, so keep it short.
