The category menu is the main navigation of a global site and full site, located at the top of all the site’s pages. The menu follows the content structure created with categories.

To edit the category menu’s settings:

  1. Go to the Refined Administration.

Users can navigate the category menu with their mouse, as well as with their keyboard.
