#### Content Menu Items

Site administrators and content editors can create menu links to the content leveraging the Drupal Admin interface as follows:

**Step 1:** Navigate to the **Content** menu and either click **Add content** to create a new content or click the **Edit** button under Operations for the content you wish to edit:


Navigate to the **Edit** tab. Menu links are configured in **Menu Settings**.


**Step 2:** Select the **Provide menu link** checkbox. The **Menu settings** section expands:


**Menu Settings** configuration entries include:
- **Provide a menu link** - checkbox. All other entries are displayed only when this checkbox is checked.
- **Menu Link Title** - text.
- **Description** - text. Detailed description of menu link.
- **Parent link** - default as the immediately higher or parent link.
- **Weight** - represents relative positioning within the same menu level. Menu links with lower weights are displayed before links with higher weights.

**Note:** Pathauto is configured for Flexible template content type so that page paths are automatically generated. For pages that may link from multiple locations the content editor will be responsible for placing the content in a menu and then creating the correct link from any other locations needed.

**Step 3:** Select **Secondary navigation** from the **Parent link** drop-down and Type "My page" into the **Menu link title** field.


**Step 4:** Click **Save** and review the changes.

The “My Page” flexible template can now be invoked from a menu link associated with the **Secondary Navigation** Parent link.
