Navigation Field

Use a Navigation field when editors should choose which menu appears on an entry or another element. For example, a landing page can select its own sidebar menu.

Create a field of type Navigation in Settings → Fields with handle pageMenu, and add it to your entry type’s field layout. Edit an entry, select a saved menu in that field, and save the entry.

In that entry’s Twig template, the field returns the selected menu’s handle. Check for an empty selection before rendering:

{% if entry.pageMenu %}
    {{ craft.navigation.render(entry.pageMenu) }}
{% endif %}

Load the entry’s page and confirm its selected menu appears. Clear the field and save to confirm the menu is omitted. You can pass the selected handle to nodes() or tree() too; see Rendering Nodes.
