Can't add new menu items or external links to existing plain empty Menu component

In Elements v1.1.1, the Menu component does not any option to manually add/edit menu items or links—even in a brand new project with no add-ons. The inspector is missing the entire menu item section. Is this a bug or a “BETA” limitation? Screenshot attached.

How many pages do you have in the project

@thisisrock might help very quick video, turn the menu into a global and insert on the pages you choose

I just have the default page in this new project!

the page you have in the editor is the mobile view, the screen needs to be wider, or view in browser,

Adding new pages which I simply add in the project are automatically inserted in the menu. This works fine already. But I can not add a link to external URLs in the menu. And I wonder how to add a “non-page” menu item for triggering a modal for instance. Implementing it with a button in the menu bar would work, but will result in maintaining a different second component. … Nevertheless: Thank you for your replies!

there a few posts that talk about limitations and the future of menu’s, around some of your points

I used the more narrow view just to make the screenshot. The behaviour I described was in the wider view too. … View in browser does not give me additional options in the inspector I guess.

I will search for those posts about limitations and the future of menus.

I guess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfeTYHFP5i0&t=636s will help (me). New link and New file are the ones for me to try out.

Creating a new link will get it added to the menu, as long as it is not hidden. Just place the link in the page hierarchy where you would like it to appear.

Thank you!
