Issue Resolved: Creating Dropdown Menus in Colorblock Theme

Original Problem:
User couldn’t find information on how to create dropdown menus for individual menu items in Shopify’s Colorblock theme.

Solution Found:
The user discovered the method independently before receiving help. The key difference from help documentation:

  • Grab menu items by the six dots on the left side
  • Drag horizontally to the right (not up/down) to create submenus and nested dropdown items
  • The admin interface appearance differed slightly from help center screenshots, causing initial confusion

Visual Reference:
Two screenshots were shared demonstrating the drag-to-right technique for creating menu hierarchies.

Status: Resolved. User apologized for the brief confusion and attempted to delete the post but shared the solution for future readers instead.

Thanks!

Hi @ac-ado ,

Can you share your website? I’m not familiar with that theme, but can check it out for you.

Hi @ac-ado :waving_hand: Please describe what you did, you can mark you own such posts as the solution.

Please don’t leave future readings hanging adding more empty noise to a community.

Thanks Paul, good point! (I tried to delete the post but couldn’t find out how)

The problem was that in the help center the screenshots of creating submenus looked slightly different than they do in my admin page.

So the way it works s you grab the menu items by the six dots on the left and rather than sliding them up and down you slide them to the right as in the two photos below.

Again, sorry for having bothered anyone!
