A few improvements would go a long way to making this feature more pleasant to use: 1. When editing a menu, the '''Pages/Posts/Custom Links/Categories''' panel on the left hand side does not show which pages have already been added to the menu; all items are unchecked, even if they've already been added to the menu. This makes it very hard to discover any new pages which need adding and also makes it easy to accidentally add duplicate pages. 2. There is currently no means to bulk edit existing menu items - two functions which would be very useful here are the deletion of all existing items and the alphabetical sorting of all existing items. 3. It should be possible to select all children of an existing parent page. For example, if creating a sub menu that lists 20 children of a parent page, we have to click on each child separately. If a new page is added a week later, then items 1 and 2 above become problematic - we need to either carefully check for the new page in the list on the left, cross referencing that list with the existing pages, or we have to delete everything in the menu and add each individual item again from scratch, which despite being quite lengthy is actually the quickest, least error-prone option here. Hope this helps!",enhancement,new,normal,,Menus,4.4,normal,,needs-patch,,"ui, administration"
