# Navigation

Your online store has two default menus that appear on every page: the main menu and the footer menu. You can [add, remove, or edit menu items](https://help.shopify.com/manual/sell-online/online-store/menus-and-links/editing-menus) in your online store's default menus.

## Main Menu

The main menu appears on the header of all pages:

{% hint style="info" %}
In most cases, you need to create an item before you can link to it. For example, you need to [create a collection](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/collections) before you can add it to a menu.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You can view and change your online store navigation from the [Navigation](https://www.shopify.com/admin/menus) page in your Shopify admin. For more information, see [Set up drop-down menus in your online store](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/menus-and-links/drop-down-menus)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You can setup Menu with [Dropdown or Mega Menu](/ella-documentation/header/set-up-advanced-mega-menu-drop-down-menu.md) layout.
{% endhint %}

## Footer Menu

The footer menu is usually displayed as items across the width of the footer. A customer will probably look at your footer menu to find information about your store policies and contact information.
