The "Main menu" is used for both the primary and secondary navigation.

The primary navigation displays the first and second (as a drop down) levels of the menu. It is located at the top of the page directly below the global UQ header.

Basic pages and Structured pages can be added to the menu when creating/editing the page, which is the best method of adding pages to the menu.

Menu links to external locations or to Panels pages can be added manually to the menu.
