  2. Denver → A visually oriented style featuring an image with multiple links, offering different image sizes (S, M, L) and design options (icon or plain text).

  3. Palo Alto → Choose from a wide range of icons (including custom ones from MacroSuite Styleguide) to create a visually appealing menu.

  4. Hum → A minimalistic style with a simple link – perfect for streamlined navigation

  1. Navigate to the Design tab for overall menu design customization.

Don’t forget to save! Once you finish creating your navigation menu, click Publish and share it with everyone. The Cosmos Navigation Menu is visible across all Confluence. Ready, set, navigate!
