Menus

From drupal.org - Concept: Menu:

Menus are a collection of links (menu items) used to navigate a website. The core Menu UI module provides an interface to control and customize the menu system. Menus are primarily displayed as a hierarchical list of links. By default, new menu items are placed inside a built-in menu labeled Main navigation, but administrators can also create custom menus.

The core Standard installation profile contains five menus:

Main navigation

Links to sections intended for site visitors. They are usually created by site administrators.

Administration

  • Links to administrative tasks. This menu mainly contains links supplied by modules on your site.

User account menu

  • Links to tasks associated with the user account such as My account and Log out.

Footer

  • Links to important pages within the site intended for the footer. They are usually created by site administrators.

Tools

  • Links to tasks necessary for site visitors. Some modules feature their links here.

You can see all menus in your system by going to Structure -> Menus.
