The Burger Menu component is a popular design element that is often used on mobile devices. This menu is represented by three horizontal lines or bars, resembling a hamburger, hence the name "Burger Menu". It typically appears as an icon in the upper corner of the screen and can be clicked or tapped to reveal a hidden navigation menu.
Tip: Pin the menu to the necessary pages at the top of the styles panel.

Troubleshooting
Burger Menu Closing Unexpectedly on Mobile Devices
If your burger menu is closing unexpectedly on mobile devices, it might be due to using the burger menu along with our Embed Anywhere feature. To fix this issue:
To navigate to the setting, click the blue "Publish" button in your project > click "Get embed code </>" > In the Embed modal, click "Advanced options"
Disable the "Encapsulate embed on the destination page".
Encapsulation is enabled by default but may cause conflicts with the burger menu.
Disabling encapsulation should resolve the issue. If you still experience problems, please contact our support team for assistance.
Accessibility
If it is not possible to access the burger menu when tabbing on Safari, you may have to manually turn on "Press Tab to highlight each item on a web page" in settings => advanced.
