# Customize your menu

> Customize the navigation menu on your Memberful member website. Add pages, external links, and posts, and edit the label that appears for each item.

export const RelatedDocs = ({link1, link2, link3, link4, link5, link6, link7, link8, link9, link10, className = ""}) => {
  const links = [link1, link2, link3, link4, link5, link6, link7, link8, link9, link10].filter(Boolean);
  if (!links.length) return null;
  return <section className={`related-docs border dark:border-gray-700 rounded-2xl px-6 py-4 mt-6 ${className}`}>
      <p className="mb-2 font-medium">
        <strong>Related help docs:</strong>
      </p>
      <ul className="space-y-1 mb-1 mt-1">
        {links.map((link, index) => <li key={index}>
            <a href={link.url}>{link.label}</a>
          </li>)}
      </ul>
    </section>;
};

The navigation menu on your Memberful member website helps members find pages, posts, and other resources you've published. You can shape what appears in the menu and customize how each item is labeled.

In this help article, we'll show you how to add pages, external links, and post categories to the navigation, rename a link's label, and set a page as the homepage.

## Add a post archive link

You can add a post archive link to your member website menu so members and visitors can view older posts from your site.

This link is separate from post category links. You can add a post archive link even if your site does not have any post categories.
