# Menu Drawer

The **Menu drawer** section is located in the **Overlay** group at the **bottom of the left panel**.

Depending on whether the Burger menu is enabled, it can appear in different ways:

* **On desktop:** Enable it in the **Header** section by checking the **Show burger** box under **Burger menu**. You can also adjust its display and positioning there.
* **On mobile:** It appears by default. You can set its position in the **Header layout** selector under **Mobile layout** in the **Header** section.

### Configuration

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### **Choose a menu**

* Select an existing menu or create a new one specifically for the **Menu drawer**.
* You can also use the [**Smart Category Menu**](/docs/volume-themes/navigation/smart-category-menu.md) feature by enabling the **Use as parent menu** checkbox.
* To highlight a menu item, enter its name in the **Highlight menu items** field.
* To display collection images, check the **Show collection image** box and adjust the image style.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Set a pinned block**

Use the **Pinned block** selector to choose which block will stay fixed at the bottom of the **Menu drawer**:

* None
* Country and language
* Buttons
* Account
* Context image
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Add and arrange blocks**

Place the necessary blocks below the **Menu** and arrange them in the desired order.

{% hint style="success" icon="lightbulb" %}
The **Empty space** block should be added at the bottom to create padding and prevent the last block from being covered by the **Pinned block**.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Menu item image block

The **Menu item image** block allows you to add an image for a **menu item with nested items**, as long as it is **not a collection**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## 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/volume-themes/navigation/menu-drawer.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.
