# Navigation List Block

*Article Topics:* [*Blocks*](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/getting-started/common-topics/blocks)*,* [*Design*](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/getting-started/common-topics/design)

## Overview

The Navigation List Block adds a customizable list of links to your page, helping visitors navigate your site. This block is often used for sidebars, tabs, or content filtering and works closely with your Theme's Menu settings to determine the behavior of the shown links.

While the **Navigation List Block** controls the layout and styling of the list, the **Menu** selected from your Theme handles the actual links and destination.

## Navigation List Block Settings

### Design Tab

The design tab controls the look and behavior of the navigation list.

The **Navigation Layout** section helps you set the overall structure and alignment of the navigation list with the following options:

* Menu: Choose a menu from your Theme's Menu Settings.&#x20;
* Orientation: Choose between a vertical list, horizontal list, or horizontal with tabs.

Unlike the **Navigation Bar Block**, which only displays links **horizontally**, the Navigation List Block gives you greater options for orientation.&#x20;

You can use a vertical list on the left side of the page to display video categories for example. Clicking a category will take the visitor to a relevant page showing videos in that category. You'll have to set up a page to send them to and configure a [Set List Block](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/member-areas-and-tours/themes/block-types/set-list-block) that can receive that information.&#x20;

The orientation will only affect the layout and not the menu links themselves.&#x20;

## Menus & Navigation

As mentioned above, the Navigation List Block only controls the design and layout of the block, the links themselves that appear within the block are controlled by a Theme's Menu settings.&#x20;
