Umbraco Menu Items

What is it?

Menu items are extension components that appear throughout the Umbraco backoffice in sidebars, button flyouts, and other locations. They work alongside Menu extensions to provide navigational and action-based functionality. Menu items come in different kinds (link, action, tree) and can use default components or custom elements.
