Editing and updating your menu details

You can manually update your menu anytime you'd like. These changes will be pushed out immediately., In this video, I'll show you how to edit a menu in Checkle. I'll guide you through the process step by step, starting from the main menu page. You'll learn how to navigate to the specific menu you want to edit and access the editing options. I'll also explain how to add a description for your menu that will be visible to the public. No action is required from you, but I encourage you to watch the video to gain a better understanding of menu editing in Checkl.

How to Make Changes to Your Menu

This is the quickest way to make edits to your menu that will be reflected everywhere Checkle syncs your menu. When you change your menu in Checkle, it syncs differences to:

  • Embeds on your business website
  • 65+ platforms that Checkle syncs with (the amount of time it takes to reflect changes you’ve made to your menu depends on the platform).

Menu options in Checkle's main menu page

By clicking on the 3 dots in the Actions column on the main menu page, you can make a few important edits to that specific menu.

These edits include:

  • Make inactive: This makes your menu invisible to anyone but you. Think of this as a menu in draft that you’re still actively working on.
  • Copy menu link: The link generated goes to this specific menu and it will not show the other menus you have marked as ‘Active’.
  • Duplicate: Make an exact copy of a menu. This is used most when wanting to make updates to a menu that will go active in the future.
  • Move up, to top, down, to bottom: This changes the order your menus are reflected everywhere that your menu exists.
  • Delete: This is a permanent action.

Manually Editing Specific Sections and Items

  1. Click on the Edit Menu button on the main menu screen to go to a specific menu.

  3. Click the pencil icon beside each attribute you'd like to edit.
