Menu is linking to wrong page?

I have just one section heading that is for some reason getting a link which I havent defined. Here is an excerpt of my mkdocs.yaml

      - Tidal: music-providers/tidal.md
      - TuneIn: music-providers/tunein.md
      - YouTube Music: music-providers/youtube-music.md

Usage is working perfectly in that the section just expands and contracts on click. However, Server Install and Configure doesn't expand when it is clicked on but instead links to music-providers/index.md and the last page in that section Music Provider Settings is missing? What does expand though is the Music Providers section. Is the problem that the same link is in two places in the menu structure?

Hi @OzGav,
you're encountering 2 expected behaviours at once.

Is the problem that the same link is in two places in the menu structure?

Yes, this is a problem, because MkDocs generates a static page, there are only HTML files in the output.
But the navigation object is shared across all pages, and for each page MkDocs adjusts the relative paths to go to the correct file based on location of the page. This is expected behaviour.

Second behaviour is that you're using Section indexes, which can be seen with Home Assistant Integration: - integration/index.md
In case of Server Install and Configure it finds the music-providers/index.md and also merges it into the section.

If you want to "reuse pages" in the navigation, each must have a unique path, and be a unique file, but the contents could be dynamically loaded using macros plugin or a hook, so the pages would contain the same data.
