### Navigation that guides — not confuses

Your navigation is the first thing a new visitor encounters after your homepage loads. If they can't find where to go, they leave. Avante's mobile menu options go beyond a basic hamburger drawer — giving you structured, scannable menus that work even for stores with deep category hierarchies.

***

### Burger menu

**Icon** — selects the icon style for the burger menu button on mobile and tablet. Choose from Classic, Classic wide, Two stripes, Two stripes wide, or Alternate.

**Menu drawer style**

Controls how the mobile/tablet menu opens.

| Option      | Best for                | Behavior                                                                                                                                               |
| ----------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Default** | Simple, flat navigation | Full-screen overlay with a search bar at the top, primary menu items on the left in large typography, and secondary links on the right in two columns. |

| Option               | Best for                         | Behavior                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Mega menu drawer** | Complex, category-heavy catalogs | Side panel that slides in from the left, with menu items listed vertically. Sub-menus expand inline in a two-column grid. Includes social icons, brand description, and currency/language selector at the bottom. |

<figure><img src="/files/4vzzugMOChAOVyVfy68y" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="success" icon="sparkles" %}
**Pro tip:** If your store sells in multiple languages or currencies, choose **Mega menu drawer** — its built-in currency and language selector at the bottom is the cleanest way to surface these controls on mobile without cluttering the header.
{% endhint %}

***

### Menu

**Underline active link** — the currently active page link in the header navigation is underlined, giving customers a persistent visual anchor as they browse. Useful for multi-page stores with blogs, lookbooks, and landing pages.

**Dropdown icon** — selects the icon shown next to menu items that have nested sub-items.

| Option      | Icon     |
| ----------- | -------- |
| **Chevron** | › arrow  |
| **Plus**    | + symbol |

<figure><img src="/files/BzpOugdmkniOEruKk2E5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="warning" %}
Dropdown icon only shows if you've added nested menu items in **Shopify Admin → Content → Menus**. If your menu has no sub-items, no icon appears regardless of this setting.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://staylime.com/docs/avante-themes/theme-settings/navigation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
