Menus

Menus allow users to take an action by selecting from a list of choices revealed upon opening a dropdown. Menus should not be used as a primary method for navigation within Studio

The label of an emitting button or control concisely and accurately reflects the menu items contained within the menu. Menu bars typically use single words as labels, like the above example - “help” while other contexts may have more verbose labels.

Menus display a consistent set of menu items, each of which may be enabled or disabled based on the current state of the Studio or the selected element.

Dropdowns:

Contextual menus dynamically change their available and enabled menu items based on the current state of the selected object.

Generally, remove menu items/selections that are irrelevant to the current context, and disable menu items which are relevant but need certain conditions to be met (for example, Font Explorer, you have a font in use, so this font is in the list but disabled, so you cant for instance delete it.
