Create Handy Links

Handy Links or "Quick Links" are shortcuts to frequently accessed or important documents, folders, and even websites.

Here's a quick video showing creating a link to a popular subfolder in the Group document library.  Follow along below for step by step instructions.

Starting at your Group site homepage, Owners will be able to click the Edit button.

Next, Click on Add Links.

This will open another view where you can select the type of link to create.

You can choose from a recent item, an item from OneDrive (check that users will have access if from your OneDrive), or an item from the Group Site document library.  In this example, we choose to link to another subfolder in the document library.  

To choose to link to a subfolder, it's a good idea to get the link to that subfolder first.

Browse your Group document library, and select the subfolder.  

The Copy Link action will then appear to be clicked on.

Now you can paste the link into the From a Link option for creating a Handy Link.

Paste the link you copied into the From a link box, then click the Open button.

You will then be able to name the link to something more recognisable.

The new link will appear in the Quick Link list.  Lastly, press the Republish button to save the changes.

Ta-Da!
