This article will show you how to use the Properties tab on a page to change the Page Menu Text. Menu Text is the link text that displays in the site's menus. It also generates the page's URL and should be as short as possible.
If you want to enable an individual page, the option to automatically match the Page Title and Menu Text, please view our article Always Use Page Title for Menu Text. If you do not enable this option, and only use the Menu Text change option outlined in this article, the Page Title and the Menu Text will be different.
Who can use this feature?
