I'm not sure what's up with that, as I just searched for "submenu" in the "Search Docs" tool and found "Recipe for populating a text menu", which uses building a Text menu as an example and includes this callout note:

Absolutely no offense intended by this message, Richard.


Imagine you are a new Rev user. After typing "submenu" into the "Search Docs" tool, one gets a list of nearly 40 topic hits. Scanning the titles of these, there is no chance most novice users would ever think that any of them were about creating submenus.

If I were a new Rev user, how could I be expected to know that "Recipe for populating a text menu" was about creating submenus? Why does it say "recipe?" Is it about cooking? What in the world does "populating" mean? And "text menu?" I didn't even know there were any other kinds of menus in computer software. I mean, I have never seen a picture menu in Microsoft Word. Why do none of the topics say "Creating a submenu?"

My point is that the Rev docs, while well written, are not presented in a format that is very approachable by the new user. Tips need to be taken from Apple's example; Apple still writes the best documentation ever for the novice user.
