Configure Dropdown Menu Links • Click on the Dropdown Toggle in your navbar to make sure it's selected. • Choose Open Menu to see the dropdown links. • For each item: Select the link text, and under Settings, choose Page Section. • Enter # followed by the section ID you previously set (e.g., #about-us). ### 4. Style the Dropdown Menu • Select the dropdown menu in the Navigator. • Use styles in the Selector Panel to design your dropdown menu for better UX, ensuring the links are easily noticeable. ### 5. Preview and Test Links • Preview your site using the Preview button. • Test the dropdown links by clicking them to ensure they smoothly navigate to the correct sections. ### Summary By setting unique IDs to sections and configuring the dropdown menu links to these IDs, users can navigate directly to specific parts of the page seamlessly.
