Menu Dropdown

Menu Dropdown adds columns of links inside Menu Builder. It uses repeaters, not child elements; use Menu Custom Dropdown for a child-built panel.

  1. Add Menu Dropdown directly inside Menu Builder and set Content > Content > Text for its toggle label.
  2. Under Columns, click Add Column and enter a Title. In Links, click Add Link and set Text, Description, and URL.
  3. Choose Icon or Image and its graphic. Add remaining links/columns; enable Show Another Section to populate Columns 2.

The optional Link gives the top-level toggle a destination, but this conflicts with opening the panel on mobile. Put destination links inside the panel instead.

Style the Dropdown

Parent Menu Builder styles provide the defaults. This element's Design controls override the wrapper, links, columns, and additional section. Match Disable Desktop Styles At to the parent's mobile breakpoint, then save.

Controls

Responsive varies by breakpoint; Hover has a hover value; Shared applies across both. In conditions, = means “is” and ≠ means “is not.”
