How can I build a sub navigation for product collections?

[RobbieC]

HI

I am trying to build a navigation with sub nav. 

Eg We have a product range such as canvases and subcategories of, say, Pop Culture, Space, Nature, etc. 

I would like to be able to click on Canvases and see all canvases and then be able to select Nature, Space, etc as a second option. Currently, I only see products when I click the last option in a hierarchy of collections

Any ideas, please?

That would mean when a user clicks an item it's a navigation element reloading the page instead of a menu heading to open a submenu to find something in a hierarchy to then navigate.

Which is a bad way to surprise users when something is or isn't a link and not a toggle.

To try and mix these behaviors you either need to just add simpler links to your menus or duplicate entries one that's a link and ones that menu.

Example psuedo structure

• Catalog
• > Catalog overview
• > Canvases
• >> Canvas products
• >> All Canvas products
•   > Nature Canvases

etc etc

Or a theme customization to change the menus behavior for menu headings of submenus and/or with separate open submenu toggle buttons and styling/animations.
