Ahead of Christmas last year I was astonished to see that I couldn’t duplicate a navigation menu and reached out to support and was told that it wasn’t possible at that time. I am raising again now here so that others can tell you that this is needed and so that you can get it sorted ahead of Chris…

There’s no Shopify API functionality to list/create menus, so this problem can’t be solved with an app either. (Otherwise, I would build one). The most you can do is fetch a menu by ID, read-only: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/2022-07/queries/menu

Our business is incredibly seasonal. Not having this feature is a huge pain point and a drain on my team’s time and resources.

well, it would be great to have dynamic menus based on metafields and/or tags. you can do this in theme. i want clone/duplicate and import/export too. oh, and the Product default sort should be – at the very least – date created descending

This thing really needs to be done. Even I am having the same trouble.

Adding my vote here to this feature request after having spent an afternoon manually re-creating a complex menu in order not to have to edit it on the live site. A simple duplicate button would be an amazing addition.

It’s silly that this is not a feature. Creating a Launchpad event with a new theme needs to have new navigation.

I can help with that no problem. Drip me an email.

Seems like this is an issue that may never get solved. I’m currently having the same issues with having to recreate it for my YMM automotive site.

Same here. Tired of having to recreate new menus as I test out different formats to build out menus specifically for automotive-related setup.

How can I duplicate a navigation menu for seasonal changes?

I can duplicate existing navigation menus or copy your navigation menus to other stores…for a small fee
