WordPress version 6.3 introduces the possibility to edit your site’s menus via the Site Editor.
You can view, manage, and modify your menus without having to find them in a specific template in the site editor. If your site has several menus, they will all be listed together and you will be able to edit them from there.
You can learn about the Site Editor in this support article: Site Editor.
The Site Editor navigation is only available when you install and activate a Block theme on your site.
You can do the follow actions using the Site Editor Navigation:
Access all your menus
When you navigate to Appearance > Editor > Navigation, you will see all your menus listed there.
Rename, duplicate, and delete menus
Once you select an individual menu, you will be able to rename, duplicate or delete it by clicking the Actions button next to its name.
Opening a page
Reorder, delete, and opening menu items
You can reorder and delete menu items from the Site Editor navigation sidebar by clicking on the Options for page link button next to each menu item.
You can also reorder items by dragging and dropping items, and even create submenus.
You can open any page from the Site Editor navigation section by clicking the Options for page link button and select Go to page. See the demostration video below.
Focus mode and advanced editing
The Site Editor navigation sidebar only allows you to do basic changes to individual menu items. If you need to edit menu item details, you can click on the menu itself (on the right) or on the Edit button (depicted by a pencil icon in the sidebar) to enter Focus Mode and access all menu settings.
Saving your changes
Please note that you will need to save your changes. You will be asked to save these changes before you exit the Site Editor but you can also save them manually at any point.
You can also save them by clicking cmd+s
in Mac or ctrl+s
in Windows.
