# Menu

## Overview

The **Menu** node represents an individual Servoy Menu within the [Menus](https://docs.servoy.com/reference/servoy-developer/solution-explorer/all-solutions/active-solution/menus/..#overview) structure. It acts as a container for [Menu Items](https://docs.servoy.com/reference/servoy-developer/solution-explorer/all-solutions/active-solution/menus/menu-item#overview), which define navigation and functionality within the application. Each Menu can be assigned to UI components such as the [Sidenav](https://docs.servoy.com/guides/develop/application-design/ui-components/navigation/sidenav#overview) or [Navbar](https://docs.servoy.com/guides/develop/application-design/ui-components/navigation/navbar#overview), allowing centralized menu management.

Each item represents a Servoy Menu created in the active solution.
