[Pages](https://success.ministrydesigns.help/sites-formerly-omega#pages) # How do you add dropdowns in the Menu widget? ## Organize your menu with dropdowns and nested links 1\. Select the Menu widget ![](https://ajeuwbhvhr.cloudimg.io/colony-recorder.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2024-04-02/fd311fc1-a1a0-43cd-bdc7-9469f01a0855/ascreenshot.jpeg?tl_px=560,0&br_px=1707,640&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=1120.0&wat=1&wat_opacity=0.7&wat_gravity=northwest&wat_url=https://colony-recorder.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/watermarks/FB923C_standard.png&wat_pad=524,135) 2\. Click "Edit" or left-click twice on the Menu widget to prompt the new window that appears in Step 3. ![](https://ajeuwbhvhr.cloudimg.io/colony-recorder.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2024-04-02/c7b44f14-e180-49ac-9848-ce49ea3f5a01/ascreenshot.jpeg?tl_px=773,0&br_px=1920,640&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=1120.0&wat=1&wat_opacity=0.7&wat_gravity=northwest&wat_url=https://colony-recorder.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/watermarks/FB923C_standard.png&wat_pad=917,240) 3\. You can see that menu items also have submenu items and sub-submenu items. This is how you create dropdowns for the menu. We will demonstrate this on the "Beliefs" menu item in the screenshots below. ![](https://ajeuwbhvhr.cloudimg.io/colony-recorder.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2024-04-02/327c86a9-9804-40a2-a369-b8c98045d04d/ascreenshot.jpeg?tl_px=482,218&br_px=1342,699&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=860&wat_scale=76&wat=1&wat_opacity=0.7&wat_gravity=northwest&wat_url=https://colony-recorder.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/watermarks/FB923C_standard.png&wat_pad=402,212) 4\. To make menu items become submenus and sub-submenus, slightly drag the menu item to the right. The screenshot below demonstrates that the "Beliefs" menu item is now a sub-menu for the "Pastors & Team" menu item. ![](https://ajeuwbhvhr.cloudimg.io/colony-recorder.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2024-04-02/68b611d2-3b16-4de7-823c-89665afa743a/ascreenshot.jpeg?tl_px=476,213&br_px=1336,694&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=860&wat_scale=76&wat=1&wat_opacity=0.7&wat_gravity=northwest&wat_url=https://colony-recorder.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/watermarks/FB923C_standard.png&wat_pad=402,212) 5\. This is how it will look on the live preview. You can see that "Pastors & Team" has a dropdown now. ![](https://ajeuwbhvhr.cloudimg.io/colony-recorder.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2024-04-02/9a99de1b-7193-4de2-b561-28fb470fbcce/ascreenshot.jpeg?tl_px=817,0&br_px=1677,480&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=860&wat_scale=76&wat=1&wat_opacity=0.7&wat_gravity=northwest&wat_url=https://colony-recorder.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/watermarks/FB923C_standard.png&wat_pad=402,93) 6\. This screenshot demonstrates that "Beliefs" is now a sub-submenu item for "Pastors & Team." The "Beliefs" menu item was moved further to the right. If you want it to no longer be a submenu item, you should move it further to the left instead of the right. ![](https://ajeuwbhvhr.cloudimg.io/colony-recorder.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2024-04-02/52bf3112-ec17-427e-8062-54094146a978/ascreenshot.jpeg?tl_px=541,214&br_px=1401,695&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=860&wat_scale=76&wat=1&wat_opacity=0.7&wat_gravity=northwest&wat_url=https://colony-recorder.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/watermarks/FB923C_standard.png&wat_pad=402,212) 7\. This is how it will look on the live preview. You can see that the "About" menu item has a dropdown where "Pastors & Team" is the submenu and "Beliefs" is its sub-submenu. ![](https://ajeuwbhvhr.cloudimg.io/colony-recorder.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2024-04-02/08073713-457e-432c-b0ab-4c9516d0aaee/ascreenshot.jpeg?tl_px=973,0&br_px=1833,480&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=860&wat_scale=76&wat=1&wat_opacity=0.7&wat_gravity=northwest&wat_url=https://colony-recorder.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/watermarks/FB923C_standard.png&wat_pad=402,184) There can only be three input levels in the Menu widget - menu items, submenu items, and sub-submenu items. 8\. You can move a block of menu items to the left or right. To do so, hold the left mouse button on the six dotted icons of a menu item that contains submenu items and sub-submenus. ![](https://ajeuwbhvhr.cloudimg.io/colony-recorder.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2024-04-02/523f7355-06be-45a9-8ce1-8963d66deba8/ascreenshot.jpeg?tl_px=478,78&br_px=1338,559&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=860&wat_scale=76&wat=1&wat_opacity=0.7&wat_gravity=northwest&wat_url=https://colony-recorder.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/watermarks/FB923C_standard.png&wat_pad=402,212) 9\. Click "Save Menu" to update the menu. ![](https://ajeuwbhvhr.cloudimg.io/colony-recorder.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2024-04-02/449afd00-96fa-4558-94e8-7f41d81bec75/ascreenshot.jpeg?tl_px=485,310&br_px=1345,791&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=860&wat_scale=76&wat=1&wat_opacity=0.7&wat_gravity=northwest&wat_url=https://colony-recorder.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/watermarks/FB923C_standard.png&wat_pad=402,212) 10\. Now you have a menu with a dropdown. Click "Close". ![](https://ajeuwbhvhr.cloudimg.io/colony-recorder.s3.amazonaws.com/files/2024-04-02/804e9075-ee8c-4e95-8882-76c3faf7fcb2/ascreenshot.jpeg?tl_px=598,319&br_px=1458,800&force_format=jpeg&q=100&width=860&wat_scale=76&wat=1&wat_opacity=0.7&wat_gravity=northwest&wat_url=https://colony-recorder.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/watermarks/FB923C_standard.png&wat_pad=402,212) 11\.
