Nested menu

You can build nested menus (dropdown, mega menu, multi-column) by creating or moving menu items so that they're nested below a top-level item. The top-level item displays in the main menu on your online store, and the nested menu items appear in a dropdown. You can have up to two levels of nested menus under a top-level item.
