key to creating a user-friendly experience, especially in SharePoint.
This is a quick tutorial on how to add a navigation menu to SharePoint
Online and how to manage it.

your main site (Not a Sub-Site) you
would like to enable the navigation menu for. In my case https://charisalexandratraining.sharepoint.com/SitePages/xxxx.aspx.
On the top
right corner, select the settings icon and then select “Site Settings”
Make sure
that “SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure” is set to Active
Next go to
“Manage site features” under the Site Actions heading
Make sure
that “SharePoint Server Publishing” is set to Active
Now under the
Look and Feel heading you should see “Navigation” click this to bring up the
navigation settings screen.
Create your
headings and add links under each section you wish to have a drop-down menu
for.
Click Add
