What do you use the menus in page management for?
The menus within page management are extremely helpful. The menus differ depending on the template/design you're working with. Important things you can often change here are:
Main menu (the categories highlighted in the webshop's menu bar)
Themes (the themes highlighted on the webshop)
Footer columns (for example the contact details, information headings and linked text pages)
Other elements that fall within your template/design
Please note!
Within the menu structure of 'page management', you don't change your category structure. Here you only add the categories to the main menu that you want to highlight on the front end, so that customers can navigate easily.

You can set up the following redirects.

Direct the menu item to an existing text page. You can select from all text pages within "Paginabeheer > Tekstpagina's" (Page management > Text pages).
Externe link (External link)
Direct the menu item to an external URL. You can determine the external URL yourself.
Taal (Language)
Do you have a multilingual environment? Then you can indicate whether the menu should point to another language. This is handy if you want to create a language switch.
Overig (Other)
Direct the menu item to an existing static page. This can be the shopping cart, homepage or another page.
Doel (Target)

Have you set up a link? Then you can specify how the action should respond when clicked. You can specify whether clicking redirects the current page to the other URL, or whether a new tab opens.
Tip!
A 'new tab' is used when it concerns an external web page. This is intended so that visitors don't leave your webshop.
