In BlueSpice 4, an additional custom menu is integrated as a mega menu. This menu can be created and edited by users with admin rights. The link-icon (1) is only displayed once the corresponding page has been created.
By default, some links are provided as entry points to the wiki. Wiki administrators can deactivate these links in the [[Manual:Extension/BlueSpiceConfigManager|configuration manager]] if needed. In addition, you can also add new links below the entrypoints (admin permissions required). Please note that no hierarchical links can be created. Therefore, it makes sense to mainly set up links to the most important topics and to portal pages that contain additional links or page lists.
'''To add a new menu header using the menu editor:'''
==Delete the custom menu==
To remove the custom menu link-icon from the wiki, the <code>MediaWiki:CustomMenu/Header</code> page must be deleted. The page can be restored via the deletion log.
