  Hi! You can absolutely edit your pages – you can always get to them either from Pages > All Pages, or within the left sidebar of the Site Editor.

  I took the liberty of checking your site and it seems like your menu block is appearing within the HTML code of your site, but as far as I can see, it’s not visible since the “overlay” menu setting is set to “off”.

  I can’t reproduce this on another site just yet so I’m not sure what’s causing it (though I don’t think it’s a bug in general); but you can temporarily force the menu to always be visible by setting the overlay mode to “always”.

  where can i “temporarily force the menu to always be visible by setting the overlay mode to “always”.

  Hi! The overlay settings are located in the “block settings” for your menu; we do have a guide for it which may be useful for you:
  Navigation block guide

  Your screenshot shows the “List view” which is also useful but doesn’t have the same options; but we have a guide for that too so you can find out more about it:
  List view

  In case of need, we do also have a general guide to the Site Editor which has an overview of which settings/panels can be found there. Let us know if you have any other questions!
