# 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.
{% 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 %}
