title: Menus
description: Edit header, footer and sidebar menus per language, and choose which menu each location shows.
---

**Menus** edits the `menus` collection: one `src/content/menus/<lang>.json` file per language.

- Drag items to reorder them (or use the up/down buttons with a keyboard or touch screen). Sub-menus are one level deep.
- **Add menu items** lists the site's pages and the entries of collections that have their own page.
- **Create menu** adds a menu to the language file that is open.
- **Auto add pages** adds new collection entries created in the CMS to the menu, as a separate commit.

## Locations

Locations (header, footer, sidebar) are stored in `src/content/menu-locations.json`. Themes that read this collection show the chosen menu directly. For themes that do not, saving copies the chosen menu to the theme's own key (`header`, `footer`) in every language in the same commit.


:::warning[Limits]
New locations must be added to the theme by hand with `menu(locale, 'name')`. Menus cannot be renamed, and new language files cannot be created from this screen. Sites without a `menus` collection only see an explanation.
