Reorder your navigation menu

The page order in your pages panel determines the order of your site's navigation menus. To reorder your navigation links:

  1. Open the Pages panel.
  2. Click and drag a page you want to move.
  3. Release the page when it's in the desired position in the main navigation. If your site is on version 7.0, your template may also have secondary or footer navigation.
  4. If the change isn't reflected in your navigation, refresh your browser.

  2. Move the page to the desired position:
    • If your site is on version 7.1, tap and hold ‌the page you want to move, then drag it to the desired position.

Remove a page from navigation (move it to Not linked)

Pages in the Not linked section don't appear in your site's navigation, but are still indexed by search engines and accessible if visitors have the URL. You can also direct visitors to these pages by creating your own links in the body of your site. To learn more about ways to use these pages, visit The Not linked section.

To move a page to Not linked, click and drag the page to the Not linked section, then release it.

To add a Not linked page to your navigation, click and drag the page from Not linked to the navigation.
