Editing Hubsite Menus

Hubsite Menu Overview

Menus are displayed at the top of the site, here are a few important tips about them before you start editing:

  • Menus are NOT automatic. We have added items to the menu for you, but you will need to edit it to suit your needs
  • You cannot just change an existing menu item to a different one. You must delete the old and add the new. 
  • You cannot create pages from the menu, you can only add existing content to it. 
  • Renaming pages does not change the link, nor edit the page in any way - it only changes how it shows within the menu
  • You can link to any Esri published content in the menu, but that does not add the ability to edit them here in the hubsite. For example: if you add a link to an esri survey or Storymap, you will still need to edit them in Survey123 or Storymap respectively. 
  • Esri content must be published to be added to the menu. Any Storymap or survey must be published, or the link will either not show or go instead to the overview page for the item instead of the item itself.
