To add menus to your website, first, you will need to set up the navigation menus, then you will need to select them in the template modules for the global header and footer.
POWER theme uses Advanced Menus that can be selected from a dropdown directly in the module once you have created the menus needed.

If you have not created a menu yet, the first thing you will do is click the "Create menu" button.
Next, you will give your menu a name. This name is internal only and does not display anywhere publicly. Choose something descriptive and easy to find, for example, "Header Main Navigation - Brand Name" to help differentiate it from other menus in the list.
If you already have a menu, you can click on the name of the menu to see a list of available menus to edit or click the "+Add menu" link to create a new menu.
For existing menus, you have the following actions available, including the option to clone a menu to make it easy to modify for mobile, footer, etc.:
Creating a menu with unpublished pages
More than likely you will be creating a menu for pages that are not published yet. Even if you have draft pages created, your menu won't display in preview mode if the link is not published.
To preview your menu in the global header and global footer and have it visible on pages while you are building website pages, you will want to create the structure, but instead of setting each item to connect to the page, you'll want to choose "No link" in the dropdown so that the menu structure will be visible.
Once you have created your pages, you can go back to update your navigation to associate all of the links and publish your site pages to make everything come together.
