# New Button Menu Item Collection

## Overview

This action lets you create a dropdown menu with multiple actions linked to the [Avonni Button Menu](/flow/flow-components/button-menu.md) in your flow. This helps you provide a clean and organized way for users to access different options.

***

## **How it Helps**

Imagine you have a button labeled "Actions" on a record page in your flow. Instead of cluttering the page with separate buttons for "Edit," "Delete," and other actions, you can use this action to create a neat dropdown menu that contains all these options.

***

## **When to Use It**

This action is great for:

* **Grouping related actions under a single button.**
* **Providing a compact way to access multiple options.**
* **Improving the organization and usability of your flows.**
* **Creating context-specific menus for different parts of your flow.**

***

## **Example**

To create an "Account Actions" menu:

1. **Configure the Action:** Provide a label for the action collection (e.g., "Account Actions Menu").
2. **Add Menu Items:** For each item, specify the label (e.g., "Edit"), an optional icon name (e.g., "utility:edit"), and a unique name (e.g., "editAccount").
3. **Connect to Button:** Connect this action collection to a button component in your flow.

***

## **Key Considerations**

* **Action Triggers:** You'll need to add logic to your flow to define what happens when each menu item is clicked.
* **Menu Placement:** Consider where you'll place the button menu within your flow's layout.
* **Accessibility:** Use clear labels and icons that are easy for all users to understand
