Create external links, categories, tags, email addresses, phone numbers, and file links directly from your navigation menu. Here's how to do it effectively:

Adding a Basic Link

  1. Open the Pages panel
  2. Click + icon next to desired section
  3. Select Link option
  4. Enter Link Title
  5. Choose link type from dropdown menu
  6. Click Save

Types of Links You Can Create:

External Webpage Links

  • Select URL from dropdown
  • Enter website address
  • Enable "Open link in new tab"
  • Click Save

Email Links

  • Choose Email option
  • Enter recipient address
  • Add CC/BCC (optional)
  • Include default Subject/Body text
  • Click Save

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
  • Click Save

For Dropdown Menus:

  • Create the link first
  • Drag into existing dropdown
  • Or click "Add a Page" within dropdown

Removing Links:

  1. Open Pages panel
  2. Hover over link
  3. Click trash can icon
  4. Confirm deletion

Important Notes:

  • Don't include leading 0 in phone numbers
  • Some files automatically open in new tabs
  • Use proper page linking for internal content
  • 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.
