Hello I'm a real beginner and I'm trying to build my first drupal site on veterinary echocardiography...I have a problem when I add links to the navigation menu : when I create a link and drag it to become a "sublevel link" I get the message "Changes made in this table will not be saved until the form is submitted"; I can see the changes in the preview but when I log in as an user different from the administrator I can't see the link...what am I supposed to do?
I tried to look in the forum but I didn't find the answer to my problem, I apologize if the answer was out there and I didn't find it
Thank you very much for your kind Help.
Elena

Click 'save' (or 'submit') to make the changes permanent. This need to click 'save' applies to every change you ever make in Drupal, unlike in Wordpress.

If the non-admin user has no permission to see the pages to which the links point, the links will not appear.

If you have clicked save on the new arrangement, and the links still appear in their old arrangement, then it must be cached, either in your browser (though the browser should not server cached pages when you are logged in); or in Drupal. If cached in Drupal, try Configuration > Performance > Clear caches can fix the problem. In some situations you need one of the tools with more advanced cache clearing, but should not need that here.

If your browser is caching, clearing caches may help. Or just try a different browser.

Thank you for your help...I had already clicked "save" before posting my question and looked at the site with a different browser (I'm using a mac and I use firefox as an administrator and look for results with safari both as a non authenticated user and as an authenticated one). I think the permissions are ok...I gave all permissions to authenticated users to see everything
Now I realized that I can't see the links in the menu even as an admin after closing the preview (obtained with the cross at the right of settings)...links are correctly displayed in structure>menus>navigation but I can't see them in the block when I load the page...where am I missing something??
Thank you again for your patience

You are missing something very simple, which I cannot guess at this distance. I have myself often added a link to navigation menu then wondered why it does not show up in main menu!

However, if you have parent and child links, the child links will not display unless you have a menu which is designed to display in a tree view (such as DHTML menu module) or a javascript dropdown in the case of a menu bar, or something else meant to display multi-level menus.

probably needed to clear the Drupal caches, and / or run cron (which will have happened automatically by now).
