  2. Select the Menu Item tab.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Insert.

    • Menu Sequence: Enter a number to specify where the item appears in the menu:

      • In the main menu, lower numbers to push a menu item to the left.

      • In submenus, lower numbers push a menu item higher in the list.

    • Item Type: Specify if the item is a menu item, a link to the URL page, or a command sequence.
