Disabling selection of a menu template
--------------------------------------

When you disable selection of a Menu template it will no longer appear as an option to select in the [Menu element](/drupal-starter-kits/add-ons/site-studio/menu-element "Menu element"). Disable selection allows you to depreciate a template without it breaking instances where it's used currently.

2.  Find the Menu template you want to disable selection
3.  Click **Disable selection**
4.  On the confirmation screen, click **Disable selection.**

1.  Navigate to Site Studio > Templates > **Menu templates**
2.  Find the Menu template you want to delete
3.  Click **Delete**
