How to Create Navigation Menu Variations in Salesforce Experience Cloud Sites
By incorporating the Navigation Menu component into your Salesforce Experience Cloud website, you can expand the scope of your navigation beyond conventional topics. This component allows you to include a diverse range of items in your navigation menu, such as Salesforce objects, topics, pages within your site, external URLs, and menu labels. Furthermore, you can use menu labels as primary categories to organize and nest other menu items underneath them.
The days of a single Navigation Menu are in the past.
Now you can create multiple navigation menus and use them in any navigation menu and tile menu components.

Customers can use the Tile Menu images to access external sites, community pages, records, or global actions. You can set up a maximum of eight image-link combinations per Tile Menu component.
The Tile Menu component has been updated in the Summer ’20 release, and the latest version is now accessible in Experience Builder. If you are currently using the older version of the component, which is marked as Deprecated in the component properties, it will continue to work. However, if you opt to remove the deprecated component, you will be required to switch to the new version.
