## Options:

### Use out of the box menu base component for top navigation component

1. [Base menu component](https://documentation.bloomreach.com/content/docs/base-menu-component)
2. [Manage a navigation menu](https://documentation.bloomreach.com/content/docs/manage-a-navigation-menu#add-a-new-menu-item)

### Create your own menu component and consume it via layout of a page

1. Create a menu component using Site Management API - [Menus](https://documentation.bloomreach.com/content/docs/menus)
2. Add that menu to a Layout - [Layouts](https://documentation.bloomreach.com/content/docs/layouts)
3. Create page using that layout and user should be able to edit menu inside brxm preview (as long as preview app uses Bloomreach SDK properly)
