How to add menu items
- This panel presents all parts of your store that you can link to.

- The various elements that you can add to your store are grouped (Department, Category, Subcategory, Content, Brands and Themes, Blog Content, Miscellaneous).
- Click a group and select your menu content.
- Choose the type of content you want to add: Static or Dynamic.
- Click Add Selected to add specific menu content to your menu structure on the right.
- Click Add All to add all the available content within that group to your menu structure.
Static or dynamic
- A static department is a department the will appear as a single link.
- No additional link or child categories will be generated.
- A dynamic department can generate multiple links or child categories.
Miscellaneous
- Contains a list of commonly used links such as Registries, Account Page, and the default Dynamic Store Navigation.
