# Step 1: Learn the key properties

#### **1.5. Learn the key properties of a menu item**

Each menu item has many properties. Below are the most basic and important ones. You can explore the others later in the table below when needed.

* **Menu Item Kind:** A set of pre-made menu templates to help you quickly define your menu items.
* **Media**: A menu item can use an icon or image (available in Pro and Elite plans). If you upload an image, the icon will be ignored.
* **Text**: The name of the menu item. This helps you identify it in the menu tree and is shown as the main label.
* **Link To**: Not just for linking to a page inside or outside your website. You can also use it to open a chat box, scroll the page, trigger a JS function, or open another Navi+ menu.
* **Description**: A small line of text below the main text. You can use it flexibly—for example, to show a product price, sale info, or blog summary.

*\*Note: Depending on the use case, a menu item might not need Media (like a plain text link) or Text (like a visual image-only item). However, it’s recommended to set both to help identify menu items clearly in the menu tree.*
