# Mega menu

Shopify allows you to nest menus and menu items in the Online Store Navigation Editor. You can build dropdown menus by creating or moving menu items so that they are “Nested” below a top-level item. Follow these steps to add Navigation:

* From your Shopify admin, go to **Online Store > Navigation**.
* Click the name of your main menu.
* Choose one of the menu items to be the header for your dropdown menu, or add a new menu item to be the header. If you don't want the header to link to anything, then you can enter '#' in the **Link field** when you add the menu item.
* Add menu items to include in the new dropdown menu. Click **Add menu item** enter the name of the menu item, and enter or select a destination for the link.
* Click and drag the menu items to nest below the header item.
* Click the **Save menu**.
