[Suggestion] Allow merchants to duplicate menus in the Navigation

[jameshalldev]

It'd be useful to be able to duplicate a theme's currently live menu, make changes to the duplicate, and when ready, simply switch the two menus over. 

Is there any kind of solution that makes this process easy? I currently have to manually rebuild the entire main menu to create an alternative.

Looking for the same solution. Shopify, please make it possible to duplicate navigations!

[ultrajeb]

+1 please implement this

[Will-Woolley]

We need to have a duplicate menu option too. I have a really busy megamenu on our Flooring Store I have developed out of the standard nav function on Shopify but I need to split test and recreating it will take ages. @Shopify please helppppp!

I too would love this functionality. Creating multiple navigations takes quite a long time for only a small tweak. Would also love to be able to export and upload to other sites!

[Notchish]

Was looking for this too. Can't believe there is no way to do it.

This would be so useful for testing out small changes to the menu before publishing to to the live site.

I have the same issue, having to duplicate an entire menu structure manually so I can tweak it in a test build, takes a very long time, if I could simple duplicate the menu with a new name then start editing it would save me so much time

[webdiva]

Still would love this option. It's a HUGE time sucker every time I have to make a new menu, if I could duplicate it would be amazing. Also showing and hiding certain menu items would be great!

+1 This would be great!

+1.   This would be very helpful for testing different approaches quickly.

Wow.. how is this not a feature in Shopify in 2023? 

[p1Commerce]

YESSSS.

[Seagods]

Came here to say the same as everyone else. Why the F is menu duplication not a thing. What would take minutes now takes hours. 

[LaVail]

Still an issue for me in 2024. Does anyone have any apps? Manually recreating navigation is a huge pain.

[Windsormen]

Yes, the option to instantly duplicate menus is much needed.

[AlyssaThomas123]

I am desperate for this feature. Seems like such a simple request given you can duplicate themes, why not also navigation!?

[Monica_Tjandra]

Would love for this feature to be implemented!

Check out Menufy (https://getmenufy.com)

You can duplicate menus by copy & pasting or export & importing, plus there's a free tier which should be enough for most Shopify merchants.

This also allows you to copy and paste into the default menus (main-menu) which Shopify does not allow you to delete.

Make sure to backup your menus before you start by exporting them using Menufy.

Hi @jameshalldev,

You can also use MenuQoL for this, which doesn't use import/export but has a built in 'duplicate menu' feature.

I have been looking for options and it seems MenuQoL provides a great solution to this common issue.

Unfortunately, Shopify does not have this function. You will need to use an app for this.
