Is it possible to update the dropdown menu so that the parent in the navigation displays a down arrow to show to the user that there is more to see under this link if they do not mouse over it??

Hi there! Unfortunately, the standard navigation menus that Wix has are pretty basic and I don’t think this is one of their options.
The good news, however, is that you can ditch the standard horizontal menu and build your own custom menu! Instead, you would create several buttons in your header, then add mouseIn / mouseOut events for each that displays a hidden dropdown submenu. (You can also add elements like arrows for each, custom hover effects, animations , etc.)
This is what myself and many others do on our sites.

Great, thank you, I will give it a try.
Ok, this was four years ago. Is this still a limitation?
