WordPress version 6.3 introduces the possibility to edit your site’s menus via the
Site Editor.

You can view, manage, and modify your menus without having to find them in a specific
template in the site editor. If your site has several menus, they will all be listed
together and you will be able to edit them from there.

You can learn about the Site Editor in this support article: [Site Editor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor/).

The Site Editor navigation is **only** available when you install and activate a
[Block theme](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/block-themes/) on your
site.

You can do the follow actions using the Site Editor Navigation:

## 󠀁[Access all your menus](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor-navigation/?output_format=md#access-all-your-menus)󠁿

When you navigate to **Appearance > Editor > Navigation**, you will see all your
menus listed there.

## 󠀁[Rename, duplicate, and delete menus](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor-navigation/?output_format=md#rename-duplicate-and-delete-menus)󠁿

Once you select an individual menu, you will be able to rename, duplicate or delete
it by clicking the **Actions** button next to its name.

## 󠀁[Reorder, delete, and opening menu items](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor-navigation/?output_format=md#reorder-delete-and-opening-menu-items)󠁿

You can reorder and delete menu items from the Site Editor navigation sidebar by
clicking on the **Options for page link** button next to each menu item.

You can also reorder items by dragging and dropping items, and even create submenus.

You can open any page from the Site Editor navigation section by clicking the **
Options for page link** button and select **Go to page**. See the demostration video
below.

## 󠀁[Focus mode and advanced editing](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor-navigation/?output_format=md#focus-mode-and-advanced-editing)󠁿

The Site Editor navigation sidebar only allows you to do basic changes to individual
menu items. If you need to edit menu item details, you can click on the menu itself(
on the right) or on the **Edit** button (depicted by a pencil icon in the sidebar)
to enter Focus Mode and access all menu settings.

## 󠀁[Saving your changes](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/site-editor-navigation/?output_format=md#saving-your-changes)󠁿

Please note that you will need to save your changes. You will be asked to save these
changes before you exit the Site Editor but you can also save them manually at any
point.

You can also save them by clicking `cmd+s` in Mac or `ctrl+s` in Windows.
