Featured navigation
This guide describes setting up the Featured navigation section.
Use the section to add a menu of links to a store page. On your Shopify admin's Navigation page, in the Menu area, create a menu. Add any store page as a menu item, like a product or collection page. Then, add the menu into the section.
The previous image shows a Featured navigation section near the top of a store's home page. On the left, below the section, part of Theme editor's section menu is displayed. The menu's Superscript option is set to Index. This setting specifies the prefix that's displayed for each menu item inside the section. The Index option prefixes each menu item with an ascending index number, like a numbered list. The first item is prefixed with 1, the second item is prefixed with 2, etc.
For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview, and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
