- Follow the steps to create your menu
- Step 1 - Choose a topic number. This is the number of the topic that you would like this link to jump too
- Step 2 - Give this link a title. This is what the user will see so give it a short desciptive name that the user will find helpful
- Step 3 - Choose wether this link will be a main link, or a sublink of another link. links are able to go 3 sublinks deep. For example, 'Files' could be a sublink of a catergory link called 'Folder' which could be contained under a main link called 'Cabinet'.

How do I add my own styles to the menu? |
- Go to the course files and create a new folder named 'do_not_delete' (all in lowercase)
- Inside this folder create a files called 'flyoutmenu.css', or you can grab a copy from the folder '{moodle directory}\blocks\menu_flyout\flyoutmenu.css' and save it in the 'do_not_delete' folder. (Do not remove the 'flyoutmenu.css from this folder though, as it is the default styles for the menu, site-wide!)
- Once added to the do_not_delete folder, edit or add the styles that you want to 'flyoutmenu.css' (CSS knowledge required). Don't worry about things going wrong, if you ever need to you can delete the 'flyoutmenu.css' from the 'do_not_delete' folder and the menu will revert back to the original style.
