# Exercise 1.4: Build the related links menu
In this exercise, we’ll add a Related Links menu item. This can be broken into two stages:
## Adding the custom menu
1. Go to the menu administration page – /admin/structure/menu - hover over *Structure* on the *Admin menu* then click *Menus*. Click on the **Add menu** button at the top right of the page.
2. Type in the name of our menu in the *Title* field: **Related Links**.
3. Type in a menu description in the *Administrative summary* field. While the description is optional, it helps site administrators understand the different menus, especially if the site has lots menus.
4. Click **Save** to create the new menu.

## Add menu items to the related links menu
Now that you’ve created the custom menu, you need to add in the **links** to existing pages. You can do this in one of two ways:
* Adding links to the menu when you edit the specific content pages/section.
* Adding the items manually via the menu interface.
### Add Related links menu option to Basic page content type
1. On the *Admin menu* hover over *Structure* → *Content types*, then click on **Page**.
2. Scroll down and click on the “Menu settings” item. Under Available menus, enable Related links.
3. Click **Save content type**.
Adding Related links to Page content type
### Add several new Pages to build menu links
Add content using the Page content type and create the following new pages:
* About us
* FAQs
* Disclaimer
* Privacy policy
Make sure you select "Provide a menu link" and select the parent item "Related links" for all pages. See the screenshot below for an example.
Creating About us page and adding a menu link to Related Links
## View Related Links menu
On the *Admin menu* hover over *Structure* → *Menus* then click on **Related links**. The new pages you created now appear in this admin area.
Showing links in the Related Link Menu
You can also add the links manually by following these steps:
1. In the menu administration page, click **Add link** at the top of the Related links. At the menu link creation page type in these settings:
* **Link:** type **About** and select **About us**.
* **Description:** Jobs Posting About Us page.
* **Menu link title**: About us
2. Leave the other settings at their defaults and click **Save**.
3. Repeat the steps above for any remaining menu items.
Finally, you can re-order the links on your menu.
1. Go to *Structure* → *Menus* to see a list of all your site’s menus.
2. Click on **Edit menu** to the right of the **Related links** menu entry. You should see a list of the menu items we just created as in the previous screenshot.
3. You can drag and drop the menu items to re-order them. Then click **Save configuration**.

**Note:** Another way to change the menu order is to change the ‘weight’ of the menu item when you’re editing the content.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://salsa-digital.gitbook.io/govcms-site-builder/unit-1-functional-analysis/footers/exercise-1.4-build-the-related-links-menu.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
