# Navigation menus

Duplify exports all navigation menus from your source store, including each menu and nested menu item. This saves time recreating menus manually, especially complex nested structures, by transferring all menus, menu items, and handles directly to your destination stores.

***

## Exporting navigation menus

When you select the **Navigation menus** option in Duplify:

* All menus from your source store are exported to your destination stores.
* Each export includes the full structure of each menu, including nested menu items and handles.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

Menu items that link to unavailable pages in the destination store will return a 404 error.
{% endhint %}

### Options <a href="#options" id="options"></a>

* **Export behavior**: When matching navigation menus exist in the destination store, choose to create new menus, update existing ones, or ignore them.

#### Example

If your store has a main menu with categories like “Men,” “Women,” and “Sale,” each containing subcategories, exporting navigation menus with Duplify will preserve all items and submenus in the same structure in your destination stores.&#x20;

## Export events

Duplify tracks export events to determine the size of your store’s export. Each event represents one data item or file. Your plan provides a specific number of monthly export events.

#### Navigation menu export events

* Each menu exported counts as one export event, regardless of the number of nested items.

For more details on export events across Duplify, see our [Export events](/using-duplify/export-events.md) reference guide.
