# [Usage](../../../usage.md) > [Components](../basics.md) > [Visuals](../basics.md) > Menu

Standalone navigation renderer following the navigation config schema. Use it for custom sidebars or embedded navs outside the default layout; use the global navigation config for the app shell and [Tabs](tabs.md) for in-page section switching.

## Standard attributes for HTMLView

- `uuid`
- `id`
- `classes`
- `extraAttributes`
- `schema`
  - The schema followed is the same of the navigation config, see more [there](../../styling/navigation.md). Each entry defines label, icon, URL, parent and order.
