How to create a unique custom menu at each breakpoint

  7. From the floating action bar, select add Manage Menu then select Add new item then select Site Pages

  8. Select relevant items to become submenu items then select Apply

  9. Create submenu items by moving items slightly to the right underneath menu item

  10. Right click on the three dots in the floating bar and select Duplicate

  8. in the Inspector panel, under Design change text to 16

  9. Under Layout, change width to 385


Part 3: Setting up a menu on mobile

  1. In the Layers panel,  select Don’t Display to hide tablet menu

  2. From the Add panel, add a hamburger menu, attach to right, align to vertical and center

  3. Select the Open Menu tab and assign a different menu to this one

  4. Select Manage Menu, then Manage Site Menus, select Add New Menu and rename as Mobile Menu

  5. Assign pages in correct order: Product, Company, Careers etc

  6. Drag ‘Knowledge’ between ‘Company’ and ‘Careers’ to reorder

  7. Assign submenu items beneath ‘Careers’ menu item

  8. In the Inspector panel,  change vertical menu width to  100%
