Adding a main menu button to a submenu

You can add a button to any submenu in your project that links back to the project’s main, or title, menu.

When you add a submenu to a project, a small pointer or arrow appears automatically on the submenu. This arrow provides navigation back to the menu the submenu branches from, which may not be the main menu of the project. By adding a main menu button, you create a more obvious way for viewers to navigate back to the main menu of the project. This is especially helpful if you have a complex project with several levels of submenus.

To add a button for the main menu:

Step 1

Open the menu where you want to add the button and choose Project > Add Title Menu Button.

A button labeled “Title Menu” appears on the menu. It appears in the default style of buttons for the theme you are using.

Step 2

Click the button once to highlight the text, and then type a new label, such as “Back to Main Menu.”

Step 3

An in-place control (shown below) appears below the button when you click it. Select a new typeface, font style, and font size for the button label, if you want.

To change more attributes of the button, such as the color of its label, press Command-I while the button is selected. This opens the Button Info window.
