Introduction

Being an administrator or power user it is recommended to have or know about the shortcut URL this will save you alot of time and increase the productivity instead of going thru the traditional navigation.

Why do we need to know shortcut URL?

Due to some reason when our traditional way of navigation does not work, the shortcut URL is the only way to proceed on otherwise we need to take PowerShell approach which needs coding effort. There are many scenarios where traditional navigation fails (in exceptional scenarios not always ). For example – we need to change the master page – for this even though the “SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure” is activated in site collection level but we won’t be seeing the change master page UI from the Site setting page – in this case we need to access the shortcut URL of changing the master page. One more example – in many cases due to browser rendering issue we won’t be able click on the edit page link to modify the web part – then we need to access the web part page URL directly.
So if we are handy with shortcut URLs – we can navigate to any administrative page directly.

Quick Access Menu/SharePoint


From what I've seen online, it's not possible to rename a folder pinned to the Quick Access list without renaming the folder itself. This is posing a challenge for me with respect to setting up SharePoint libraries as "favorites," like I had in Windows 7, because of the way my company set up SharePoint.

Our IT Department told me to add a shortcut instead of a direct link, I'm not finding any info on how to do that. I tried creating a folder, pinning it, then adding a shortcut within that folder, but it doesn't show a list of files in the library, it's literally a shortcut to the library.

My questions are:
1. Has anybody successfully pinned SharePoint libraries to Quick Access and renamed in that list them without renaming them in SharePoint?

2. If not, is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance! I'm trying to avoid a list of folders called "Shared."
