Menus

Manage and configure menus for your storefront, including navigation and content organization.

The menus functionality provides a hierarchical navigation structure for organizing and displaying links within your storefront. Menus can include multiple levels and menu items that link to catalog entities such as categories or brands, or to custom URLs and pages.
They are used to build the site’s main and secondary navigation and can be rendered anywhere using menu locations.
