# Save Main Menu State

## Save Main Menu State in Google Search Console

To ensure the main menu doesn't open every time you refresh the page in Google Search Console, follow these steps:

1. **Install Chrome extension**: Navigate to [GSCTool.com Extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/google-search-console-bin/glncpmnpbdpbipdgdpadhlcankfngejl) and install the extension.

{% endcontent-ref %}

2. **Open Extension and Activate "Pin Main Menu"** *(Active By Default)*: This setting allows the main menu to remember its state.
