Whilst page titles can get away with being verbose, the same cannot be said for top level menu items, where space is limited.

For example, instead of adding Papers, Leaflets and Books as individual top level menu items, create a Publications menu item instead, with Papers, Leaflets and Books as sub menu items. This better categorises your site pages and leaves more room for other menu items.<\/p>\n<p>Completely top level approach:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
