Removing Links

  1. Open Pages menu
  2. Hover over link
  3. Click Trash icon
  4. Confirm deletion

Note: To add links to dropdowns, create the link first, then drag it into the existing dropdown or click "Add Page" under the dropdown.

For collection filtering, use category and tag linking. Pages automatically create navigation links when added, so separate links aren't needed for website pages.
