    titleNOTE

    You can set a Level 1 menu item to be collapsible.  That means that menu items below that item and at a lower level will be grouped under the Level 1 item. A collapsible item can be set to collapse by default, which means it will be collapsed when a visitor first views your website and visitors will need to expand the item to see the levels beneath.

    Remember that not all layouts support collapsible menus. Layouts 1,5,7 and 14 support collapsible menus.

  7. Click Save Web Menu Item.

More on levels

A level is an indentation of the menu item, and Level 1 is the highest level, level 2 is the "child" of the parent level 1. 

Example

Home (Level 1)

  • About Us (Level 2)
  • Contact Us (Level 2 )

You can change the level of a menu item by clicking the gray arrows to move items in/out (Level 1, Level 2), and up/down(placement on the menu).
