Hi, I’ve already built most of my website, and on the homepage I have a hamburger menu. I’ve also created many subpages, but as a beginner I didn’t think of setting up the hamburger menu as a reference element. Now I’m wondering: how can I make the other pages follow the same menu from the homepage? For example, if I change a name or a link in the homepage menu, I want it to automatically update on all pages as well. I tried using the “Paste Reference” option, but it just seems to place the menu randomly on the page, and sometimes the menu doesn’t even work anymore. Any ideas? Surely this can’t be that complicated? ---

Hey you 🙂 Yes, a reference is actually the way to go with building a website that has many subpages. I use it for the menu as well as the footer. It makes things definitely much easier 😉 Have you checked our help article for that?
