Creating menus in Jentla Marketing Hub can seem like an easy task for most intermediate users looking for better ways to organize their site's content. While navigating through the Menus section, there are some details that might catch your attention and some issues that can only be known at advanced user level. You might want to skip all the tedious steps of going through every field at a time. I know I did. So here are some menu insights that will help you understand better what everything does, where and why.

1. The first brake I personally had when started to work with menus was at the crossroad of menus and menu items. To better understand the difference between the two, the following table should do the trick:

The best way to understand how menus and menu items really work is by clicking on one of the menus in Menus section and seeing all the menu items and sub-menus items mapped under them. Kinda as so:

2. As you can see in the menu item editing page, the Menu Location area determines the position of the specific item and the menu that should be its parent, as it displays all menus created on your site. The main page of the Menus section also displays all the menus existent on your site, thus letting you choose which one you could use for menu item creation.

3. If you want to change a menu item's location, you can simply edit its options or use the Move/Copy button on the main page. The intelligent menu tree displayed above can also be rearranged by dragging and dropping menu items in the desired place.

4. If menus are usually organized under modules, menu items give the user the option of choosing menu layouts. This is another maybe confusing part of this section as choosing menu layouts determines the content to be displayed on that specific page.
