              text='Help' 
              url='/help'
            />

        </DropdownMenuContent>
      </DropdownMenu> 
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Notes

* The `Dropdown` component uses `DropdownMenuPrimitive` components from `@radix-ui/react-dropdown-menu`.
* The `children` prop is required and should include the elements to be displayed in the dropdown.
* The `className` prop allows for custom styling.
* The `inset` prop toggles the trigger style.
* For more details, refer to the [Shadcn Dropdown Menu documentation](https://ui.shadcn.com/docs/components/dropdown-menu).
