Header Menu

The Header Menu is an area above the content fragments list in the Content Fragments Console that displays action items unrelated to any particular content fragment. It includes buttons or links for common actions such as creating new content fragments, importing content fragments, and performing other operations that are not tied to a specific content fragment.

Header menu can be customized via methods defined in headerMenu namespace.

You have the ability to:

• create multiple buttons from single extension;
• implement drop-down menu buttons;
• use different variations of buttons from React Spectrum;
• use any icon from React Spectrum;
• delete default or added by extension buttons;
