Header, footer and overlaysDrawers group

Navigation drawer section

The Navigation drawer section is the Seventh mobile and side menu. This page lists its settings, its Menu blocks and the promotion cards it can show.

Applies to: Seventh 4.0.0 and later. Added in: Seventh 1.0.0. Last checked: 2026-10-12 against Seventh 4.0.0.

The Navigation drawer section is the menu panel that slides in from the side when a customer taps the menu icon in the header. It is the menu on mobile, and on desktop too when the header's Menu Style is Drawer or Both.

Where to find it: in the theme editor sidebar, open the Drawers group and select Navigation drawer.

Theme editor on the Default collection template with the Navigation drawer in the Drawers group expanded (three Menu blocks and Promotion cards with two cards) beside the open menu drawer preview.

Drawer content

  • The drawer holds Menu blocks, a Promotions cards block and a footer with social links and selectors.
  • It has its own menus. It does not copy the menus or mega menus of the Header section, so set up the drawer menus separately.
  • Its colors come from Theme settings → Colors → Modals/drawers.
  • The selectors show only when the store has more than one language, or more than one country or region, in Shopify admin → Settings → Languages and Shopify admin → Settings → Markets.
  • The social icons come from Social theme settings.
  • Each Menu block shows a Shopify menu, with an optional Heading.
  • Links with child links show an arrow. A tap slides the drawer to that link's child links instead of opening the link's own page.
  • Add several Menu blocks to group the drawer, for example a main menu and a smaller help menu with a different Text size.

Note: Links that have submenus will make the url inaccessible. Clicking on those will open the submenu, instead of following the link.

If that page must be reachable, add it again as the first child link in Shopify admin → Content → Menus, for example "All dresses" under "Dresses".

Promotions cards

The Promotions cards block shows the cards you add inside it: Card, Product card or Collection card. With more than one card, the cards show in a horizontal slider.

Note: Promo blocks do not appear in submenus. They are only shown in the initial state of the navigation drawer.

No. Since Seventh 1.1.0, the account link is no longer in the navigation drawer. Customers sign in from the account icon in the header, which opens Shopify's sign-in panel. Turn on Show account in Header → Main row → Icons.

Why do the promotion card images look blurred in the theme editor?

The theme editor loads a smaller preview image. Save, then check the drawer on the live storefront or in the theme preview outside the editor.
