# Menu

A side menu that slides out over the current screen. Inside is a page, like a screen's: a header and areas with elements. A menu usually holds a list of the app's sections and is opened with a button in the screen header.

## Settings

**General**

- **"Side"** — "Left" or "Right".
- **"Opening"** — "Default", "Over the screen", "Screen slides away" or "Screen moves with the menu". The difference is only visible in the built app.
- **"Gestures": "Open by swiping from the edge"** — on for a new menu.

**Style**

- **"Background color"** and a **"Divider line"** between the menu and the screen.
- **"Width"** — in px or %. If not set, 304px.

Menu elements are added the same way as on a screen: click the menu in the block — the editor with the phone opens.

## Exits

The menu's exits are its tappable elements: list rows, buttons. A menu has no "Continue" exit of its own. If a row leads to a screen, the menu closes and that screen opens.

## Specifics

- A menu cannot be the start block.
- A new screen closes an open menu.
