## Good to know

- **Large dropdown menu** opens a wide panel. **Dropdown** opens a small list.
- A link with no links under it is a plain link. It opens no dropdown.
- **Large dropdown menu image** adds one picture beside the links in every large dropdown menu.
- On phones, the menu opens full screen. Shopify explains every menu control in [Menus and links](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/menus-and-links).
