Simplifying Navbar 7 Management in Webflow for Clients

Hello! We are using Navbar 7 for a project, but it seems quite complex to "manage" the menu and change text, links etc. Is there any easy way to manage the navbar's in webflow, so that it becomes more "Client-friendly"?

Adam L. one tip would be to grab the parent div that encloses most of the columns and links and make it a component and then drop this component on a different page (style guide) - i dont know if your client will have designer access though.

Hi Adam - I use that same one in some of my designs, you can see an example here: https://www.lasermestl.com/ To make it more friendly, I remove the icons, and then the text under the main button I tend to use some other short verbiage. The issue I experienced with it, is that on smaller monitors (under 14") it creates an overflow. The mega menus (all of them) need to be rebuilt, due to some new updates in Webflow.

Ah interesting Matt! What do you think about the new components slot? Can that help solve it? Ideally we want to solve it via content editor access if possible maybe with cms? Michael! We found some bugs and usability problems in the mobile menu

Adam L. yeah certainly there are a few "creative" solutions using CMS here. You could have a single collection, with multiple categories (one category for each column) and you'd have the name, icon, description and URL field. The issue here is that you could run into human error. Say you update the slug of a page, you'd have to remember to update it in this collection as well. I don't believe you'd want to use component slots for this because I dont think that translate that well for content editors but I could be wrong there.

and in this instance, using component properties AND CMS is a bit overkill. Just nesting a component inside of your navbar for your nav items and using CMS would be enough.
