This setting controls the visibility of the mobile menu based on screen size. Additionally, check that you've set the minimum width for enabling the mobile menu correctly.

A: For optimal user experience, select a clear and recognizable mobile menu style in the Toggle Style section. This ensures that users can easily identify the toggle button. Additionally, consider aligning the toggle button and menu items in a way that complements your overall site design, enhancing usability on mobile devices.
