your database solutions. You can:

1 duplicate or delete a menu
1 add, duplicate, or delete menu items

existing menus, for example, to modify the properties of a few menu items.
1 starting with an empty menu. Use this method to make significant changes to menus, for
example, to add menus and change menu item properties.
