menuUpdate

mutation

Requires write_online_store_navigation access scope.

Updates a Menu for display on the storefront. Modifies the menu's title and navigation structure, including nested MenuItem objects. You can update the handle for non-default menus.

The items argument accepts a list of menu items with their nested structure. Each item can include nested items to create multi-level navigation hierarchies. Default menus have restricted updates—you can't change their handles.
