Manage your menu list: group, rename, clone, delete

When your store has several menus, like a Tab Bar for phones, a Mega Menu for computers or a Floating Button for chat, the list gets messy fast. This article shows you how to reorganize it, so you can find the right menu to edit and don’t touch the live one by mistake.

Open Apps > Navi+, and you’ll see the full list of your store’s menus right away. Each row shows:

  • Name: the menu’s name and note.
  • Publish: On means shoppers see it on the web, Off means it’s turned off. Click On or Off to open the Publish settings and see whether the menu is on for phones or computers.
  • Visibility Rules: which shoppers see the menu, and on which pages. See display rules for details.
  • The Edit button opens the menu so you can edit its content. The ⋮ button holds the management actions covered in this article.
The ⋮ button on each row holds the management actions

When the list is long, click the Sort by box to sort by Recently updated, Recently created, Name A-Z, Name Z-A or Publish status (On→Off).

Rename and add a note

Menu names only show in the admin so you can manage them. Shoppers on the web don’t see them. Name menus by their position and purpose, for example Tab Bar — phone or Mega Menu — summer 2026.

  1. On the menu’s row, click the ⋮ button, then choose Change name and description.

  2. Type the new name. The description below is optional. You can add the creation date or the purpose so you don’t forget.

  3. Click Save. The new name updates in the list right away.

Group menus together

When your store has 8 or more menus, group them into sets such as Summer, Permanent or Testing. Grouping only makes the app easier to look at, and doesn’t affect your menus on the store.

  1. Click the ⋮ button on a menu’s row, then choose Add to group.

  2. Choose an existing group, or type a new group name in the New group name box and click Create group.

  3. The list groups automatically. Menus that aren’t in a group appear under Ungrouped at the bottom.

To take a menu out of a group, open Add to group again and choose Ungrouped. Any group with no menus left disappears automatically. If you haven’t created any groups, all menus still show together in one list, as usual.

Clone a menu to test

When you want to try a new design without breaking your live menu, or you need a new menu that’s almost the same as an old one, clone that menu.

  1. Click the ⋮ button on the menu’s row, then choose Clone to new menu.

  2. Wait a few seconds. Navi+ creates a copy with a > at the start of its name, such as > Tab Bar — phone, and opens its editor for you.

  3. Rename it so you don’t mix it up, then edit its content as you like.

Check the on/off status of the copy

The copy keeps the display settings of the original menu. Remember to check the Publish column of the new menu. If you don't want shoppers to see it yet, turn it off before you edit. Having two menus of the same type turned on in the same spot will make the menu show twice on your website.

Turn off a menu on your store

If you want to hide a menu from the web but keep it for later, don’t delete it. Just turn it off:

  1. Click Edit to open the menu, then click the Publish button.

  2. Click Turn off at the top of the window to change the status from Status: ON to Status: OFF. The menu is saved automatically right away. OFF

  3. Shoppers on the web won’t see this menu anymore. When you need it again, just click Turn on.

A menu that’s Off keeps all its content in the list. Plans only limit how many menus can be on at the same time on the web, so menus that are Off don’t count toward this limit. You can see the maximum number of menus for each plan at Plans and billing.

Delete a menu, and what to do if you can’t

  1. Click the ⋮ button on the menu you want to remove, then choose Delete.

  2. Check the confirmation box, then click Delete to remove it for good.

To delete several menus at once, tick the box at the start of each row, then click the Delete button with a trash can icon that appears above the list.

Deleting can't be undone

A deleted menu is gone for good. If the menu is On, it also disappears from your store right away. The confirmation box doesn't tell apart menus that are on or off. If you're not sure, back it up first, or just click Turn off in the Publish window.

A menu that can’t be deleted: if a Desktop Mega Menu is embedded inside a Mobile Menu, the app blocks the delete so phone shoppers don’t lose a section of the menu. When you see the message Can’t delete this menu yet, do the following:

  1. Click Got it, then open the Mobile Menu that embeds it.
  2. Delete the menu item that embeds it in that Mobile Menu, then click Save.
  3. Go back to the list and delete the Desktop Mega Menu as usual.

The reverse direction isn’t blocked: you can delete a Mobile Menu at any time, and it doesn’t affect the Desktop Mega Menu.

Other platforms

The steps above are for Shopify — the default way.
