Ghost makes it easy to update your navigation menus, so you can quickly make updates such as adding an about page to your main navigation, or a contact page in your footer.

## Primary navigation

Your site's navigation menu can be updated directly in Ghost Admin from the **Settings → Site → Navigation** section. By clicking on **Customize**, a new menu will pop up which allows you to add or edit items in your primary & secondary navigation.

Navigation items can be dragged to rearrange order.

## Secondary navigation

If your theme supports it, you can also add **secondary** navigationlinks to your publication. These are commonly used in your footer, or in the top right corner beside your primary navigation.

💡

****Tip**: All tagged content exists in an automatically generated tag archive, which means you can add content categories to your navigation. For example: `/tag/news/` and `/tag/podcast/` can be used to add a News & Podcast navigation link.

### Adding Pages to your navigation menus

Once a page has been created in Ghost Admin, it is not automatically added to your site navigation.

To add a page you've published to your site navigation, you'll need to first copy the URL of the published page, and then insert this as the link for a new item label within the **Settings → Site → Navigation** area. Once saved, your link will then appear within the navigation on the frontend of your publication.
