Hi. I have added a new header preset “Menu Bar wide” from the presets. It’s all fine on the page I created it, but I want the menu to show on all pages by default. I can’t find the switch to do that. Any hint ?  
Thx

Hi! You need to create a **Reference** for your menu and then duplicate the reference and place it on all your desired pages.  
To create a **Reference** , press the right mouse button (right-click on your element) and select “Create reference” from the contextual menu.  
You can find out more about **References** here: [How to create references - Sitejet Help](https://help.sitejet.io/article/479-elements-create-references)

Hi. When I create a reference, it looks completely different:

Hi! You’ve probably created a reference only to the Menu element.  
From what I see in your screenshot, you have a MenuBar Preset, just create a Reference to the entire Preset/Group.

Here is a video with an example
