Content holders, making BC menu's are for the front end of a website. These do not add menu etc to the admin.
To add menu items in BC you have to register yourself as a developer with open platform, and then register and build a simple app to create the menu items and then deploy that.
In terms of any features you read on BC, it looks like you using your Free Creative Cloud site on BC. This has very limited and the most limited features. So a lot of what you may google or read in the BC documentation will not be accessible.

BC uses bootstrap for most of the menu's, here is any example of a similar menu with all the CSS you need.

The example code is running in the bottom.
Disclaimer: I didn't write this just googled it.

In terms of what the poster is asking and "BC uses boostrap for most of its menu"
- Back end - You can not modify the admin unless you build an app, it is only control not style. - This does not use boostrap
- If on the front end:
-- CSS only html menu is just raw output - Not bootstrap
-- Default is that nasty tables, inline stuff and root BC CSS - not bootstrap
-- A basic BC site does not use bootstrap
Some of the templates do (not all of them) so it will depend on that and also if the module is just a module or module v2 and on what it is using. You often need to customise the boostrap basic CSS on a menu as it is not quite compatable as all BC templates that use it have.
Without more info though from the original poster you can only guess what he is refering to
