Design The Popup And Its Content

1. Go to Templates > Popups > Add New and give your new Popup a name. (An alternative method is to press CMD+E or CTRL+E to open Finder, search for Popup, choose Add New Popup, and give it a name.)
2. Choose a pre-designed Popup template or close the Library overlay and design your Popup from scratch. For this example, we’ll design our own, but you can also find this template in your Elementor Pro Popups Templates Library. Just search for “menu” in the Popups library to find it.
