The navigation bar at the top of your community website is fully under your control. This article covers the single task of reshaping it in Manage Menu: adding and removing items, reordering and nesting them, and choosing which roles see each one. For labeling and structure best practices, see the Manage Menu article.
Menu editing uses the same permission as website pages — if your role can manage pages, you can manage the menu. Open the Community Admin Center and use the Manage Menu card; if the card is missing, ask a community administrator to review your role's pages permissions.
The Manage Menu interface displays your current navigation structure. Each entry corresponds to a page, the blog, the calendar, or an external link, and items can be nested to create drop-down submenus.
New pages are not added to the menu automatically, so revisit Manage Menu whenever you publish one — see Create a Custom Page.
Drag and drop items to adjust their position. The left–right indentation controls nesting: indent an item under another to make it a child in a drop-down submenu. For example, a "Committees" parent item could hold child items for "Architectural Review Committee" and "Social Committee".
Order matters — put frequently used destinations like Calendar and News near the beginning, and keep the number of top-level items small, grouping related pages into submenus.
For each menu item, you can specify which roles can view it. Public pages should be visible to all visitors, while internal resources might only appear for signed-in residents or administrators. Role-based visibility keeps each audience's navigation relevant — and keeps members-only links out of the public menu.
Remember that menu visibility controls the navigation entry, not the destination itself; manage the content's own visibility in its module (for example, a page's public/hidden switch).
Save your changes, then view the site as a resident would to confirm the menu reads well and behaves as expected on both desktop and mobile. If navigation feels cumbersome, reorder or rename items and check again.
