In this article:

If your site has not yet migrated see the Index of documentation for the McGill Web Management System.

Access the Menu administration
From the Administration toolbar, go to Structure > Menus. On the Main navigation line, click Edit menu.
Menu levels, and how they appear to the public
The Home page does not appear under the Menu administration since it cannot have any subpages.
Figure 1: This image shows a menu with three levels of links; Visit is at Level 1, Groups/ Tours is at Level 2, and Guided Tours is at Level 3.
Figure 2: This image shows the menu administration with three levels of links; Visit is at Level 1, Groups/ Tours is at Level 2, and Guided Tours is at Level 3.
Level 1 links
Level 1 links are the top-level links in your menu hierarchy. They generally appear in the horizontal navigation (sites that do not use the horizontal navigation will see these links in the left side vertical menu bar).
Level 2 links
Level 2 links appear in the left side vertical menu bar as subpages of Level 1 links.
Level 3 links
Level 3 links appear in the left side vertical menu bar as subpages of Level 2 links.
It is highly recommended to avoid having additional levels of links beyond Level 3 because doing so makes it difficult for users to navigate the website.
Creating a dropdown menu
Site managers can add a drop-down menu to menu items in the horizontal navigation. See Create a drop-down menu for step-by-step instructions.
