# Menu widget synchronization

Often it is necessary to have menu widgets with the same content in different pages. In this case nedyx offers an automatic synchronization, with which all menus always have the same setting.

In the simplest case, only two menus are synchronized with each other. Then one menu is filled with the desired content, e.g. from a database query or from another formula filling. The other menu must then simply reference this menu in the content formula:

<figure><img src="/files/VBM2CCBG74uWUrBrOJhZ" alt=""><figcaption><p>The right menu contains a direct reference to the left menu. Then both menus are synchronized.</p></figcaption></figure>

In this case, switching one menu automatically switches the other menu as well.

#### Remarks

* The synchronization only works if a direct reference to another menu is used. As soon as e.g. a formula is used, like TEXT(#menu1), the synchronization is lost.
* It is possible to reference many menu widgets with each other. The synchronization then continues to work in both directions.
