While we don't recommend frequently adding to your menus, or having long menus with lots of items in the dropdown, we know that sometimes it's necessary to add to a menu. If you've created a new Article here's a quick way to add it to the main menu —***this shortcut only works if the page you want to add is an Article.***

Navigate to the article you would like to add to the menu

First, open up the item that you'd like to add to the menu and check that it's published. If you've just created a new article, be sure to click 'Save' before following the next steps.

Once your article is saved, you'll see a dropdown under "Save & Close" that says "Save to Menu". Note: you will NOT see the dropdown until the article is published and saved.

Next, you'll see a window pop up that allows you to select which menu you'd like to add the Article to — you'll likely be adding it to your Main Menu, under a dropdown you already have, like About, Events, Get Involved, etc. Be sure to select which Parent Menu you'd like it to go under.

If you don't want your item to go *underneath* another Main Menu item, and would like it to be a Main Menu item itself (like Donate) then select 'Main Menu' as the Parent Item. Once you've selected the proper menu to add to, click Save. Then close your item by clicking Save and Close.
