Click “Website Editor”; on the right, a tab with an icon titled “Menu Bar” will appear; click on “Menu Bar”.
A “Custom Menu Bar” tab will appear. Click on the “Add Link” button.
An “Edit Menu Bar Item” tab will appear. Under the field “Label” type in your link.
Click on the “Internal Link” button if when clicking on the link, you are taken to a page within your website.
Otherwise, click on the “External Link” button if when clicking on the link, you are taken to a page that is not within your website.
Select the “page you want to link to” from the dropdown menu (you may only go two containers/links deep within a single dropdown) or type in the “External Link”.
Click “Save” at the bottom of the tab to add your link. It will appear under the heading “Menu Bar Link”.
