Umbraco Menu

What is it?

Menus are extension components that display throughout the Umbraco backoffice interface, including in sidebars and button flyouts. They serve as containers for one or more menu item extensions, enabling organized navigation and action grouping. Menu items are configured separately and can be added to existing menus or custom menus.

Documentation

Always fetch the latest docs before implementing:

• Main docs: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/customizing/extending-overview/extension-types/menu
