# Design your menu

Use the default header navigation or combine it with the sidebar menu depending on your store’s needs.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open the theme editor**

In Shopify, go to Online Store > Themes and click **Customize** on the theme you want to update.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Use the default header menu (no sidebar)**

In the left panel, open **Menu drawer** and toggle off **Enable sidebar**. This disables the desktop sidebar menu so your store uses the header’s default navigation.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Choose your menu in the Header**

In the left panel, open **Header** and set **Dropdown menu** to the navigation you want to show in the header.

For nested dropdown layouts and promotional content blocks, see [Configure dropdown navigation menus](/keystone/guides/sitewide/configure-dropdown-navigation-menus.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**(Optional) Keep both menus**

If you want both the sidebar and the default header menu, keep **Enable sidebar** turned on in **Menu drawer**, and make sure your **Header** has a **Dropdown menu** selected. This will display the sidebar menu alongside your header navigation.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Save and test**

Click **Save**, then preview your store on desktop and mobile to confirm your menus appear as expected.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.brickspacelab.com/keystone/guides/sitewide/designing-your-menu.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
