To add the new Article as a menu item to the web site:

  1. Hovering over the "Menus" menu item and selecting "Main Menu" will open the page for managing the site’s main navigation.
  2. Clicking on "New" in the icon toolbar at the top right of the screen will open the page to select the menu type. For an Article, you will click on "Articles", below "Select Menu Item Type", to expand the Articles menu.
  3. Clicking "Article Layout", under "Article", will open the final step for creating the menu item.
  4. Under "Menu Item Details", the "Title" field is used for the text in the menu. You will set the "Parent Item" to the page in which this link should be displayed. To have the item show in the sites main left navigation, this value will remain as "Top". To be displayed in a pages sub-navigation, you will select the page in which the link should be displayed.
  5. Finally, under the "Parameters (Basic)", you will click the "Select" button to select the article you are linking to. Once selected, you will click "Save" in the top right icon toolbar to save the menu item and have it immediately displayed on the web site.
