Topic summary
Main issue: Collections don’t appear in the storefront/navigation and a banner says “To add this collection to your online store’s navigation, you need to update your menu.” A screenshot of the banner was shared.
Key guidance from support:
- In Shopify Admin > Online Store > Navigation, edit Main Menu or Footer Menu and add a link to the collection. The banner shows when a collection is available online but not linked to any menu; clicking “update your menu” should take you to add it.
- Ensure availability: set the collection to be available to the Online Store, and also set each product in the collection to the Online Store under Sales channels and apps (Manage > select Online Store).
User-reported workarounds/results:
- Toggling product availability to Online Store resolved it for several users.
- One user dismissed the banner (X) and could publish, though this didn’t work for others.
- Another user switched the collection type to Manual (instead of Automated) and it worked for them.
Support escalation: Staff offered account-specific help via email or the Help Center.
Status: Ongoing. Some users resolved it via menu linking and product availability; others still experience issues and frustration, with no single universal fix identified.
