Phone Number Links
- Select Phone option
- Enter number with country/area code
- Choose Call or Text function
- Click Save
File Links
- Choose File option
- Upload new file or select existing
- Enable "Open in new tab" option

For Dropdown Menus:
- Create the link first
- Drag into existing dropdown
- Or click "Add a Page" within dropdown
Removing Links:

Important Notes:
- Don't include leading 0 in phone numbers

- Links position depends on Pages panel placement
For existing pages, simply add them to navigation - no separate link creation needed.
Remember to test all links after creation to ensure proper functionality.
